The Post About Painting

The lovely Tammy Stringfellow leads a class once a quarter called "Masterpiece." She guides us through a great painting and we try to replicate.

"Try"
is definitely the operative word.

Here is my effort from last night:












I wish I had taken a photograph of the picture after an hour - it was tragic. My efforts at blending were failing miserably. I did something I normally avoid - which was ask for help. Tammy came, she took about 6 strokes and suddenly I was back on track. The final piece turned out pretty good (if I do say so myself.)

It's just like life. If we stop in the middle of anything - haircut, cutting the grass, book, or especially a crisis - the situation can seem tragic. But we haven't seen the final picture. It can also turn out pretty good.

What should this teach us? Patience. Endurance. And Patience.

  2. What do you think about having them on Sunday afternoons after church? We might could get more people who could come!
