Here is my newest painting... appropriately titled... "Set Free"
What better way to imagine being free then a bird being released from
its cage on a beautiful spring day... allowed to spread it's wings and fly...
to fly as high and far as it likes... to soar with the eagles... to ride the wind...
to fully experience the life it was created to live!
I thought you might enjoy a few photos of the process. I wanted to create a
very airy springtime feeling... the season where new life buds and blossoms.
So very happy with the colors I chose.
Loved using the leaf cutouts from a vintage music book...
reminds me that the more freedom we walk in, the sweeter our song.
I'm guessing this looks like no other bird you've ever seen before.
Oh the joy of being able to create whatever bird I so desire...
and I chose this little lady because she's bright and cheerful and so very
excited about her new life beyond her captive past.
Jesus said, "you will know the truth and the truth will set you free."
Not a freedom to do whatever, whenever and with whomever...
but a freedom from the lies that hold us captive and keep us becoming all
God designed us to be and living the life He died for us to experience.
Oh spread your wings of faith little bird... soar on the wings of the Spirit.
Thank You Father God for opening the prison doors of our hearts and setting
us free from the captivity of lies, sin and death. Give us ears to hear the Truth
of Your Word... and hearts to receive it, believe it and be changed by it for
Your glory... may we spread our wings of faith new every morning and fly!
Amen.
Love and God-hugs...
Karla
And yes... "Set Free" will be in Etsy soon!
