Mary :
I have to share something that happened to me last night.. I was by myself painting in watercolor, and I came across a picture of Jesus that inspired me to try and paint a picture of Jesus. I just started ayear ago. I’ve been struggling with trying to learn how to paint better in watercolor.. I am not that good and learning this watercolor has kicked my rear end, but nonetheless, I’ve been asking Jesus to be with me and praying to the Holy Spirit to help me to guide my paintbrush and inspire my mind and I was so excited to even try because I am not a portrait painter. I am more of a landscape botanical type of beginner.. and I’ve just started really trying. But below I want you to see how Jesus revealed Himself. The yellow around this painting comes from the brightness of Jesus’s being. The simplicity of his features show blood on his forehead, from the crown of thorns.. there’s a teardrop on one side that is actually a little drop of blood . I’m not finished with it, but the way that the color dried created the features. and little beard sculpted his face. The only color I used was a light brown and lemon yellow. I don’t even know what the name of the brown is, but it is watercolor. I want to share this, even though I am embarrassed to do so, but I am humbled by the kindness Jesus showed me. I asked him to help me guide me. I have always played with painting, sketching, etc. But, I was raised in a very abusive home and when I found the courage to show my father he picked up my painting, and he sat it down and told me that anybody could do that l.. it crushed me having come from my dad. it just tore me up because it’s the only thing that ever did that I wanted to try Hard at. I wasn’t very academically smart when I was in elementary school although I did become very academically gifted in college. But my heart has always been in the Arts. Anyways, l truly have loved listening to your testimonies and have gained much strength too. God bless you thank you for your gift. You give us each time you come on this app.😇🙏🫶🏼
