“And the story the painting is telling…the mess, the beauty, the layers…it’s all about him .... It was never my painting; it was always his.” 😮💙🙏🏻 so very beautiful and so powerful!

Your reflection also reminds me of an image I read about in a book, I need to find it – it might of been a Tim Keller! – referring to a beautiful tapestry, but when you look at the back, you see all the ties and knots and “mess” behind the creation – how it is created – and yet there you have your masterpiece on the surface. The finished result.

Sorry, that’s really sketchy in terms of what I can remember, I’m now going to have to look it up, but the image came to mind reading this. 🙏🏻 Also, I love your chalk paint paper bag drawings, so much! 💙
