K is for Kingdom
According to the Gospel in John 18:36, Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place." I am a servant of the Lord, so I abide in Him, as He in me (John 15:4). Although I sometimes fall short and know I am nothing without Him, He never fails me with His unconditional love. Therefore, even though I do not deserve them, He has bestowed me with abundant blessings. Amongst these blessings is a place on Earth which I consider a taste of His Heavenly Kingdom… my art studio.

That is why I thrive in having my artwork and writings glorify Him, as well as bless others, regardless of their faith or believes.
The latter is in response to His two greatest commandments, which are to Love Him above everything and to love my neighbors as myself (Mark (12:30-31).

I love your art space, so much creative happenings in there. Love the your bulletin board and the little silver drawers below it, I have the same ones. I never knew there was a chicken turtle.. I will google it. You know what I really love about your art desk? There is paint on it, little memories of work created there. Thank you for sharing the word and yes, a little slice of heaven is surely an art studio.

Hi Arnoldo, what a fascinating peek into your creative space, it does look like a very happy place and inspiring place to be. I love those cards, really unusual and artsy. Have a wonderful Easter time :o) Annie C #25
ReplyDeleteHow fascinating to see your studio, Arnoldo, I would say it is the exact opposite of mine, so it is doubly interesting. I had a good old prowl round looking at this and that.
ReplyDeleteYour watercolour flower is beautiful and so good to see it with the art materials beside it, I do like the way you present your art to us like this.
Your two cards are terrific too, very unusual with the clever combination of images and darker colours.
Thanks for your Gospel message. Happy Easter!
Joy, Joy, Joy!
