Scroll down to read about my latest painting, “Shapeshifter”.
I was painting this flower, (In fact, if you go home to noelclark.com, you will see a picture of me wearing a white blouse dress, standing next to the flower as it looked while still a work in progress (WIP). I began painting this flower again the other day. On one of the nights when I stepped away, I noticed something. I couldn’t walk away from what I had seen. I thought about how I could make it more clear to others while still keeping the integrity of what God did and what He showed me in the painting.
“Shapeshifter” is named as such because there is a part of this painting that shapeshifts. Once I noticed what was painted on the canvas, I made subtle adjustments in order to take what I was seeing and make it more apparent to someone else. And even though I painted this — I was the tool / the instrument / the vessel, I feel as though in this flow state, it was God who was the intentional artist.
For me, I feel God introduced me to art as a way for me to grow even closer to Him. I feel God works through my art to relay messages to me.
This is why I paint. This is why art is so special to me.
Art, for me, is a connection to God.
So, go back up to the photos and look again.
