Apostle Art Home Staging & Design Blog: December 2010

 I was going to keep this in draft to post while I am England but Sherilyn Cervantes' post   Sometimes life is better from the inside looking out  inspired me to post today instead.

Sherilyn....this is for you!!!

 

 

"Life Goes on"

 

 With the break of each new day...Life goes on.

When unexpected comes your way...Life goes on.

As sunshine fades and darkness falls...Life goes on.

When earthly life hears deaths cold call...Life goes on.

Where peace and light and Love rule all...Life goes on!

Funny thing about my art sometimes...it often evolve in ways I don't intend. The spiral symbol has been used in almost every culture since the beginning of time and often represents the cycle of life, Resurrection... life, death and the continual momentum of both. I have always used spirals in my art to represent and infuse "LIFE". So last year I set out to create these spiral wall plaques and tree ornaments. I put the "Life goes on" really thinking about life after death and as a remembrance of those who have passed from this life to the next. After I made them though, I started to think about how we usually use this phrase to mean, no matter what you are experiencing in life...it goes on.

 We all go through tough times but if by the grace of God we get through it...Life goes on.

...and if we don't...Life goes on!

Blessings!!!

"Come"

 The doors are always open!

When joy comes & praise calls,

They are always open.

In the cold of the night when

Darkness surrounds the soul...

Always open.

Even when we think

We shouldn't go in, out of pain,

Out of shame...always open.

Always open for God's precious ones.

YOU are God's precious one!

                                                                       Come...for although you might think it too late,

                                                                   There is always room inside.

 I just wrote a post about why I have not been posting...I've been very busy playing with clay... Sorry...I've just been wallowing in the MUD...and next I'll be splashing in puddles across the pond!! 

Before I was a Professional Home Stager...I was... and continue to be an artist!

Soooo..... I thought It would be nice to share some of my Art (Clay, paintings and photography) from time to time and the inspiration behind it. There is always a depth to my work that is not always apparent so I write lots of poetry, like the one above, to go with my pieces or I will attach a scripture verse. I give out little cards with each work sold that has the appropriate saying or poem on the back

and this on the front...

 

My sincere hope, in my work and in

my life, is to create, inspire and uplift.

To touch hearts and reach souls.

To take time and be still...

seeking always the divine,

and doing always His will.
