Furniture Climber Day 3 of the 30 day challenge
Remind me to never paint this small again as I cannot see properly to do it. Took longer than necessary for sure!
 I photographed this with indoor lighting. It is not as yellow as this. I could not resist the climbers liveliness. Everything about her said sweetness. She was back lit, so the shadows on her face were pretty dark.

"The Eighth Day"

6" x 8" On The Eighth Day" SOLD

The eighth day in Jewish history is a new beginning.    I am enamored with the idea of newness.  New creations, starting over, change.  

We are mostly reluctant to change as we get older.  We are tired  not wanting to be challenged to learn.  Why not?  As a small winged creature is desirous of flight,  we need to be desirous of making all things new.  Christ makes all things new every day.  New cells, new plants, new species, etc.  Ancient is exciting, and is history, but new is full of hope.  We can be examples to our children who are like robins, leaping from the nest into the world.
