Painting at the Source, Fellowship Church

January 25th, 2011

Fellowship Church Creative Nights PaintingI had a great time painting at the source at Fellowship Church, Saturday night and Sunday morning. It is always so inspirational to be around such creative people. The paint out of the large box was to let people know about the creative nights at Fellowship. This is a large group of creative people, photographers, artists, sculptures, singers, musicians, and digital media artist, just to name a few, that meet about once a month, for an inspirational message and to brain storm ways to use God’s gifts to bring people the message of Christ.

We could paint whatever we wanted to, I of coarse chose to paint flowers and butterflies, one of the other artists painted a fairy and a daisy and inside the box the artists painted peoples faces and some abstract work, it was really interesting to watch the creative flow. As the weeks go by different framed spaces will be added to the box and other artists will add their own unique visions. I can’t wait to see the evolution of the box, I’ll keep you posted.

Clematis

Clematis

I have finally finished my painting of the Clematis in my side yard. I was inspired by the beautiful Spring Clematis blooming in mass on our side yard trellis. These Clematis are perennials that come back ever year, they love the cool spring and fall and will bloom twice a year, spring being their most showy bloom. They grow best when another plant shades their roots and their tops receive full sun. Interestingly enough the Clematis is famous as a flowering plant, but its true flowers are in fact very tiny, the parts that we think of as the colorful flower petals, are actually the sepals. The blooms and sepals eventually fall away, leaving a cluster of seeds and tails. These spring-blooming clematis, flower on the previous year’s stems, summer/fall blooming clematis bloom only on the ends of new stems, and twice-flowering clematis do both.

So here is the finished image and I am so excited to read the creative and heartfelt names you folks come up with for this painting.
