Fish on Friday. Well and truly back In Luton. Requesting transfer to more exotic pasture.

BLESSINGS AND LOVE TO YOU.

Homing in on a piece of the painting which I like.

I believe paintings can be like musical compositions, 

in that whilst we may like the whole thing, some individual parts stand out!

Below is a bit for me. One theme which I particularly like, is the lines going beneath and through

The layers!

Slightly different shot above to below.

                                         Above painted today and still wet. Not sure, but dont think its finished.   

                                           This to me is a rather calm portion. Wonder what
                                            it will be like when it is dry?

                                          Here are some sheep I took a photo of on the
                                          Yorkshire moor. I can see an essence of the colour
                                          and lines of the photo in the painting above it. Can
                                           You? Is it an exercise of stretching the imagination
                                           for some and just plain simple for others?  

                                          This was about as close as I got before it moved.

                                          My sons thought it would be fun to shoot me in this
                                            very cold river. I wanted it deeper, but no luck.



                                              THE CROSS IN PRAYER

                      At that day ye shall ask in My  name. John.16:26.
                      We are too much given to thinking of the Cross as something we have to get through;
       we get through it only in order to get into it. The Cross stands for one thing for us - a complete
       and entire and absolute identification with the Lord Jesus Christ, and there is nothing in which
       this identification is realized more than in prayer.
            "Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him." Then why ask? The              
       idea of prayer is not in order to get answers from God; prayer is perfect and complete oneness    
       with God. If we pray because we want answers, we will get huffed with God. The answers come
       every time, but not always in the way we expect, and our spiritual huff shows a refusal to identify
       ourselves with Our Lord in prayer. We are not here to prove God answers prayer; we are here to
       be living monuments of God`s grace.
             "I say not that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father Himself loveth you." Have you
       reached such an intimacy with God that the Lord Jesus Christ`s life of prayer is the only              
       explanation of your life of prayer? Has Our Lord`s vicarious life become your vital life? "At
       that day" you will be so identified with Jesus that there will be no distinction.
              When prayer seems to be unanswered, beware of trying to dix the blame on someone else.
        That is always a snare of Satan. You will find there is a reason which is a deep instruction to
        you, not to anyone else.
                                                                       Oswald Chambers.


                

                      I will end with this, which I had to get pretty close to the water and risk the
                      camera to take. What I like about this is almost everything. The lights on the
                      water and the light and the water on the rocks. The movement and the power
                      of water. Which I may add, we are mostly made up of!  Lastly the colour is
                      even more subdued than todays painting. Again though this photo may have
                      had a slight influence on my painting.
                   
                      I shall bid you a good day and pray that you are blessed as are those whom
                      you meet. Your bro Peter.
