"A Spiritual Awakening"


This is my latest painting.
"A Spiritual Awakening"
It is a work in progress, just like me.
It is for my own private collection.  
Something for me to look at every morning when I wake up to remind me that my life is a constant struggle.  I am like the sailboat depicted floundering in the waves. Searching in uncharted territories. There are angels everywhere to protect me from myself and the demons that are a constant reminder.....
But, there are bluer skies that await this tumultuous situation.
The sailboat will find calmer seas.
Sunshine awaits this wayward crew.
It takes many to weather this storm.  But with God's love He will wrap his arms around all of us and protect us.

  1. I love this painting. However - when I first saw it - I didn't notice the sailboat - I noticed the cross (or mast). An even better illustration that God is always with us - He guides us through every storm. I love your paintings!

  4. This is a beautiful painting. I'm not sure how I found your blog, but I've read it for awhile, and this is the first time I've commented. I, too, first noticed the cross on the sailboat. After reading your post that accompanied your painting, it reminded me of song "The Anchor Holds". It's an old one but a good one.

    1. Hi Sylvia! Thank you so much! I could probably work on something similar for you however not sure it would come out the same to be honest. This painting came from way down deep inside of me and is a total expression of me. I could try though if you are really interested! Just let me know kbdr@aol.com
      Thanks!!!
