Latest painting

Wow, it's been over a year since I picked up a paint brush and did a painting. I guess I have been focusing so much on the bigger projects of the house, that my little hobby got neglected for a while. Truthfully, I wasn't really missing it though. Don't get me wrong, I do love to paint, but when the inspiration is just not there, it's not as fun.

On Friday I was feeling the urge to paint again. I wasn't sure what I had in mind or what I wanted the painting to look like, but I knew I wanted to put a quote from the book of Ruth on it. We are doing a series on the book of Ruth at our church this summer. If y'all haven't read Ruth in a while, do it. Such a good book in the Bible.

Anyway, here's what I ended up doing.




"where you go I'll go, where you stay I'll stay." Ruth 1:16

The rest of the painting is pretty basic. Nothing to fancy.






It was also my first painting done on wood. I put it up on my big empty wall that I just painted going up our stairs.







Not sure if I totally love it or not, but it did feel good to get those creative juices flowing, even though it's a really simple painting. Hopefully it won't be another year before I do another one.
