moms, coffee, books and paint

Posted in thought, art by nakedpastor on the September 14th, 2006

This morning about 10 young mothers came in with their children to hang out in our newly updated toddler room. They brought snacks and I put on some coffee. Not generic stuff, but quality stuff made by Randy and Glenn, a couple of local guys with a successful coffee business in town called Java Moose. Only two of the moms come to our church. The others loved it, and we agreed that they could use the room at their discretion. They appreciate it. We’ll see them again next week. I stayed and had coffee with them until they started talking about, well, mom stuff. It was fun, relaxing, and cool to meet new and interesting people. I went back into my study and buried my head in a book of theology.

Anyway, check this out:

Trees at Dusk

I painted this acrylic on canvas (10″x14″) this week. I like it. It’s on auction on ebay. CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT! Or you can just click on the ebay icon to the right! Make a comment on what you think of this painting.

Stay tuned on some of my thoughts about what I’m reading.

    Love love love that the toddler room is being used during the week. Especially for people to hang-out with kids and drink coffee. Like your painting too!

    David -

    Love this painting. My attention was first caught by the trees, which for me, represent the earth. Then as I continued to look, the sky, representing the heavens, sort of came through the trees toward me. Nice thought! Doncha love art and how it can speak?

    thanks, although I didn’t “think” this consciously… i can see what you mean… in fact, julia, your opinions about my art have been influential to me (in a good way!)
