30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge—Day 7.

This is my favorite little spot on Tims Ford Lake in Tennessee. It's a great place to unwind and spend time with family. For me today, it's a place of reflection. It has been one week since I took on Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. I have already learned a lot about my art and about myself. We all need a quiet place to unwind from our hectic life and reflect on our journeys—even if that place is in a painting.

Every Sunday, our church displays fresh flower arrangements during worship. They remind me of the beauty of creation, and the frailty of life. After worship, the flowers are composed into smaller arrangements and delivered to people who are home-bound or in the hospital. They truly are an offering of love and grace. And so, for Sunday posts during this challenge, I will attempt to paint details of these offerings to share with you.

Today's image came from a photograph by the talented Cheryl M. Stewart. We were in an art show together and I saw this image she captured of redbud trees on the Natchez Trace Parkway. I told her how much I would love to paint that scene. She gave me a small print from which to paint. It was a beautiful gift, but not nearly as beautiful as the gift of that sunny morning on the Natchez Trace. Every day is a beautiful gift for us to appreciate and share.

One chilly fall morning, I was waiting at the bus stop with my daughter. We looked down and discovered something beautiful—Autumn leaves kissed by morning frost. We live in a world full of small wonders. We just need to take the time to see it.

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge—Day 2.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon traveling through Kentucky. A fresh blanket of snow was on the ground. From a crisp, clear sky, the bright sun revealed magical scenes of light and shadow. The humble countryside, that had once been overlooked and taken for granted, displayed its true majesty—adorned with sun and snow.

These railroad tracks from East Tennessee make the perfect image for my first installment in Leslie Saeta's "30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge." We never know what lies ahead in our lives. But we should never be afraid of the unknown. Rather, with a little faith (in ourselves and in the one who is always traveling with us), we can have the confidence to face what lies around the bend and press on.
