melissatwa's Journal, 30 Mar 21

My middle daughter (the one with me in the profile pic) expresses so much through her art. Yesterday she painted this. It makes me think how the darkness is so hard to endure, but we can't fully appreciate the light without the dark. We aren't thankful for the dawn without the night. Spring and new growth comes only after winter's death. The sun seems brightest after a storm. Thank God for new days!

Is that a place from her deepest, darkest, mind, or has she been to that location? Either way, that is an awesome, bird's-eye view of the DARK SIDE....OOOooOOOoOOoooOOOoo I'm anticipating the Headless-HOrseman to come riding through there, now. (*_-)

Check out the artwork by Mackenzie Thorpe, a British painter/sculptor who does hauntingly stark work with lone figures dragging hearts through tough landscapes (a recent one is "Winter Frost). They're not elegant like your daughter's, but I got the same vibe from both! (And art is all about how it makes you feel, right?)

Thank you all so much for your wonderful words. I will share them with my girl. She is in a place in life where encouragement is of so much value. Painting with watercolor is extremely challenging. If any of you have experience, you know there are no do-overs. You cant paint over or fix mistakes. You can only move forward, and it is only in light color... The lightly painted places that the image is visible. My girl gets inspiration from many ways, but this came from her own heart. She tries to paint something each day,. Since a little child she just have creativity and art flowing from her.

She is so talented Melissa!!!! I love how the sun shines into the trees! This reminds me of Luke 1:78-80."A new day will dawn on us from above because our God is loving and merciful.He will give light to those who live in the dark and in death’s shadow. He will guide us into the way of peace.”
