The Most Fulfilling Kind of Painting
by Anita Ann Johnson on 6/14/2010 7:32:28 AM
Some of my collectors many not know this, but I do what some may call "inspirational paintings". I call them "worship" or "prophetic paintings".
James 1:17 says: "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights..."
My Pastor has been a great encourager and a huge support of bringing the arts into our church. Last weekend there was a women's conference and this is a painting that I painted during the worship times. The title is "The Spirit and the Bride say Come!"
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life. Rev 22:17

I stumbled upon your website through The E.E. Newsletter, and I love your works! I took my first art lesson at age 50 over 2 years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. Mostly self-taught, though I've taken a few lessons over the past year. Mostly pastels and watercolor.
This article really intrigued me. One of my goals has been to find a way to glorify God through my art, especially since he is the one who opened my eyes to this gift. (I'm not perfect, but I'm improving!) What are your thoughts on how to use this kind of art to share Him and praise Him?
