Tonight I was gleeming over a picture I have been labouring on for a sum of time now and I began to notice all the places where I had made mistakes or where it was imperfect. I began to see the painting as an incomplete work. The work of creating a picture so that it is true to-life is a feat. When you first notice this painting it looks pretty decent it looks almost finished. Even I was thinking wow only a few more parts and its done. The truth however is that it is not close. I watched a movie and returned to my painting to see what it was all about and reviewed the perspective it captures. When I returned I found so many flaws and incongruencies that I found it hard to even want to fix all of them because the task seems so grueling, so for now I decided to wait for a bit to paint it further.
The painting reminds me a little of myself, and my friends. Upon first view wow what a cool fun person to be with hang around and enjoy thier company. But exactly like the painting what is the perspective it captures what about the painting is it revealing, and conveying. I don't want to judge people. I just mean to say that learning about people takes time and hours of countless scrutiny to determine the true state of their heart. I had and have and plan to spend hours working on this painting in order that its perspective is as close to reality, or the true picture as I can. This painting experience reminds me so much of how I need to pour hours of my life into earnestly sprinting to know God intricately not to find imperfections in Him but rather in me, and to scrutinize my friends not to find sin but to find the image of God in them. To see them eternally as my family. The flaws and incongruencies of my painting does not make me want to forsake it and start another one, but rather I seek to work through the imperfections so that the painting will become more true to itself if you will. My goal then in getting to know my friends and even those who I don't know is to be such a good artist that I may display the picture which God has placed within my heart, and to understand the picture he has put in theirs as well. That i may be able to show the beauty of the creator. I pray that I may be able to use my artistics to articulate the beauty so intricate placed within my heart. To make this painting it takes great detail and the proper canvas. I learn from the painters around me as we all are learning how to make the good brush strokes in order that the texture of the painting accurately depicts what it is true to. The painting as the physical one I am making is incomplete and always will be because I don't feel able to properly and fully reveal its true honor and majestic perspective.
All of our artistic abilities are different and we make different pictures, "let know one hate on our paintings, but we may not pervert them either" our pictures tell stories of love, hate, friendship, life. Our painting brings us hope. We find our unity in the love we share even though some of our paintings are abstract, realistic, water-based, oil-based, acrylics what have you. The unity of our collage is unique to our kinship, but is not discriminatory to any. This painting has taught me quite a bit, I have learned that we all have our quirks, BUT we are all portraying a real picture. our painting has a purpose.
