If I Were an Artist
There have been several points in my life that I have had the distinct desire to be an artist. I envy people that can actually express and share with the world the images they see in their imagination.
I am artistic and creative, but I cannot draw or paint. That frustrates me to no end. Yes, I could take a drawing 1 course. However, it is not a natural gift and I would remain a frustrated artist.
If I were an artist I would...
...draw prayer time images in coal.
...paint images from night-dreams in oil and day-dreams in acrylic.
...draw deep revelations in ink.
...paint hopes and desires in water colors.
If I were an artist, I would bind all of my pages as a timeline of my walk with God.
With words in place of images and pens in place of brushes, I will craft my story and bind my pages still.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Clayton!
ReplyDeleteYou should draw anyway. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm an artist that hates drawing. I'd rather put together letters and numbers that make sounds.
Well, you may not be able to draw....but you sure have a way with words.
ReplyDeleteI wish I were artistic too. But I always wonder if I would actually use my talent like I think I would if it came naturally?? I would hope so!
