Bird on Briar
"I like to paint
little birds, but not totally realistic ones. I like to imagine what they would
look like with decorative wings and designer feathers."

My daughter ask me to do a collage
of how I imagined God would look. I gathered all of my favorite
photos, most taken by me. I included pictures of my daughters and
grandchildren, along with a few images from other sources. Then, I set to work
cutting and gluing. I surrounded the canvas with my favorite definition of God
from I Corinthians 13: 4-8. For me, this image is as true as I can create.

When Carol challenged us with the theme “Imagine,” I immediately
thought of dragons. I have long wondered why dragons abound in historic art and
literature of so many nations on Earth, yet we have no archaeological evidence
that they ever existed. Why would the same mythic creature appear in Sumeria,
China, Greece, and practically every other exotic place you can think of? From
Chinese dragons to St. George and the dragon, how did the same fantasy reptiles
appear on opposite sides the the world, in cultures that didn’t know each
other? Of course, the fact that the creatures are mythical makes them easier to
paint because you are only limited by your imagination.
Besides my dragon question, I have also wondered this: If there
are aliens on other planets, do they have their own fictitious superheroes?
Or maybe dragons?

As we find travel difficult these days, we imagine
ourselves at places we once enjoyed. We
can remember happy trips to the Keys and pretend we are there once again.

This was such a fun challenge. It is so interesting how everyone's mind goes to such different places which is what makes it so much fun to see what everyone is going to come up with. Looking forward to the next one!!
