This seems to be an ongoing theme these days – resiliency. Change is a given and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with the dynamic outcomes happening in a continual state of change. As I’m working to find new ways in the unfolding circumstances, words like “be fleet and nimble” come to mind– sometimes meant for me or other times meant as encouraging messages for loved ones around me. Through it all, we have hope, and the assurance that our God cares deeply about every hair on our heads. Think about that for a minute. We are not alone – not in the bright sunshine-y times of life nor in the depths of darkness or struggles.
And this resiliency is evident all around us – from my Mom having to adjust to new realities in her Assisted Living environment to grandchildren facing the challenges of a new school year. This week’s painting is a common theme in my paintings but every time it comes out a bit different. Liltie Series, Resolute One, 4” x 6” on 300 lb. watercolorblock, reflects a sturdy pine tree with its roots firmly grounded in a formidable rock.
