The hopeful yellow of gingko leaves is on the ground now. The metronome of wind shield wipers that will keep us company on the wintery roads is almost here. I wonder what this dark season will hold, but for now I soak in the November sun and am grateful for patches of color that still remain scattered about.
Morning Sketches
November Peach
Thoughts from the studio today:
Play = worship
Worship = prayer
Prayer = connection
How are you playing today?
Collecting beauty
It doesn’t have to be organized or designed to be beautiful.
Autumn
Sketching this morning.
Innocence + depth
Innocence and depth will you please learn to hold hands? Will you dance for me?
Depth, my complaint stands - you only seem to mingle with grief and knowing.
Your weighted gifts are quite priceless however - understanding, empathy, compassion, grace.
Deep wrinkle lines of the heart are more beautiful than a young face.

Royal Remembrance
Alarm clock bird
Did God send you? You alarm clock bird
He’s calling me to meet Him in the mornings again..
It’s been a pattern a song in the head or one out the window..
Yours wasn’t particularly a pleasant hymn more of an alert 🚨
get up get up get up get up get up
Squeaking and squealing as if your little feathered life depended upon it. You did a good job, I got up.
A date with the divine - what does that look like with melted makeup and a stiff neck?
Today a reminder to care for orphans and widows - who are they in my life?
WIP - Beginnings and layers
I tell you the truth
/ I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise /

The Word Became Flesh
May my wandering lines connect us to a greater Kingdom story.
Spring
First signs of spring
We plant in fallen Faith
With knowing Hope in the divinity of science
Which in due season will produce the delicate blooms and reminders that seasons change
So take a breath today
Plant in Faith, Watch for Hope, Embody Love
These thoughts came this morning after slowing down and listening - Picking daffodils, listening to piano music, listening to Bema podcast, reading ethics book, sketching and painting in the studio.

Lazy Parts
/ Lazy Parts /
6 - 6x8” pieces/parts
Inspired by IFS session (Internal Family Systems Therapy) yesterday.
Parts were acknowledged and given some light rays to shine. They felt heard and wanted to play today. Deep rest, nature, healing. ❤️🩹

Beginnings
Beginnings can be exciting and best (jump in), middles can be murky and unknown (time to trust the process), ends can be solid and satisfying (job well done).
Here’s to the beginning of a 16”x16” diptych

Keepsake by Kandyce King
shadows imbue
her wild eyes
her brown hair
don’t underestimate
divinely determined
scampering
strong steps
her fired up soul
her bare soft feet
her galaxy mind
terrified firsts
chilled glassy gravel
90 laps ought to do
resolved
for you
for sentience
for Mason
for Grace
do you not
understand
many souls
live this
existence
every night
she managed 3
a piece embedded
in her heel
a companion on lap 1
a keepsake for
her heart and soul
