This is the smallest piece I've ever painted. A girl-friend gave me a very small canvas (8"x6") for one of my birthdays...I kept it for some time, didn't really know what to do with it. Then.....I wanted to try on something new....monochrome, to paint a picture with one-family color (basically blue), and I selected to paint a pearl.
I have always wanted to paint a pearl to express that everyone is special and unique in God's eyes...we are all very precious. This is indeed a very special pearl full of lustre, showing its splendour resting at the sea-bed....reflecting the glory of God to its surroundings. We can all shine like this small pearl if we allow God to use us wherever we are....even in the deep ocean.
I took almost 1&half months to paint this small piece, entitled "I'm special" on 22 July 2008. My next piece will be a large one (48"x24"). Lastly, I want to say to you (my reader), "you're special"! Thanks for 'tuning' into my blog of paintings.....hope you're enjoying them so far.
