Shari Erickson: Mini Landscape

This little painting is 2.5 x 3.5 inches, ACEO sized in Golden Open Acrylics. I am longing for some weather like this! Soon I hope!

Lightbulb Moment

A few years ago I met a woman who is a missionary in Africa, in a dangerous place and a hard living. Her "very important job" made me feel like my "light and fluffy job "didn't really make a difference in the world and I felt rather like I was not much use to God and His will. It took some time, prayer and study to realize that my gift was given to me precisely to fulfill God's purpose for me. He made me the way I am, an artist wholeheartedly inspired by the beauty of His creation, so that I would be equipped to do what I do. What is that and how does it relate to the Great Commission? I paint pictures of His creation, which is His first revelation to us of His existence.
