a friend asked about my wedding dress: “is it everything you were looking for?” to which I laughed at myself and told them “it wasn’t anything I was looking for.” But it wound up being everything I never knew I wanted. If that doesn’t preach about life in general beyond wedding dresses, then I don’t know what does. Life with God. It’s all the things you never thought about. Or the fullness of the things you half thought about. It can be the things you never knew you weren’t looking for. Never knew were waiting....handcrafted for you. Just so grateful for His loving and thorough view, high above everything. How it’s so much bigger than mine. And even though He sees everything, He still sees me. ✨
Reality check
If you have a roof over your head, clothes to wear, food on your table and people who love you. Then you're pretty dang lucky But I get it, it's hard to feel any of that when we constantly compare ourselves to the strangers online that we envy. They have the money, travel funds, minimal chic decor, perfect skin, cutest bf, flat abs, coolest friends, adorable kids whatever etc... But here's the catch, you don't know what they went through to get to where they are
You don't know the struggles and sacrifice. And here's the thing, nobody has the perfect life. We're all in this together and I think instead we need to use any envy as inspo to level up. Because if they can achieve what you want, then you can to
But most importantly, give thanks to what you do have because the life that you're living RIGHT NOW, is one that someone else could only dream of.
So instead of comparing, let's take a look at our lives and ask "did I give thanks to all the blessings in my life?", "am I doing my best?"
Let's honor the lives we're given today and every day. It's a dang privilege ✨
This painting is for a client of mine who is getting married next month —she wanted a floral painting that included all her wedding colors and flowers because she plans to display it above her place-card table AT her wedding What a fantastic idea right?! And then obviously she’ll bring it home to display in her & her husband’s new house! Win-win idea ✨
36 x 48 in.
Acrylic and gold leaf on canvas.

Nuthatch on linen. I’m excited to finally find a printer that does digital printing on natural fibers. The printer that we were using in the US discontinued most of their natural fibers and replaced them with polyester. “Polyester is now the most commonly used fabric in clothing, having overtaken cotton early in the twenty-first century.
For polyester and other synthetic materials, the emissions for production are much higher as they are produced from fossil fuels such as crude oil.” Thank you @contradouk for printing on natural fibers ! #earthfirst
