Purity and Innocence

Artist Kelly J ~ https://www.artistkellyj.com

I love this piece, this was originally a photograph and I have seen it a few times, even painted. It speaks to my own heart. Children love animals, I am not sure what happens to many of us as we age, but we change and do not have the purity or innocence around us anymore. This speaks both purity and innocence which is my prayer for all man-kind, and the earth and it's people.

Autumn Elegance

Paint by Numbers

Artist Kelly J

This beautiful piece captured my interest because I love the colors and the simplicity of this piece. It is actually a paint by numbers but once I was done, I made it my own, and added to it and filled in and blended everything together. Immediately after I posted it, the original sold. I use all my profits to help others in need. This profit went to a man I got to know in South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Reservation who helps the elders there. So the monies I made on this piece helped some people have wood for heat, water and supplies needed during there cold winter season.

Thank you goes to Norm C. for purchasing this piece and Tony T. for helping others in their time of need.

Rainy Scene Paint by Numbers

Rainy Scene

Paint by Numbers

Artist Kelly J

This is another paint by numbers, that once I finished with it, made it my own by blending it and reworking some of the parts that were a little off. I love this scene, because it seems so peaceful.

Flower Art on Wood

Artist Kelly J

I created this in a class I took where I live, I was able to learn a little more about brushes and strokes. I was amazed when creating the flower petals how easy they were with just one stroke with the correct brush, and the leaves as well. I have always been self taught and inspired to paint by God. So this class taught me some things.

Finding the Key that opens our Heart

I was born to share the truth that I find when living the life that was created just for me. A love that connects our heart in pure friendship and authentic truth. Our heart is the key to opening yourself to a world that is a paradise that is around you all of the time. The Great Mystery has written His perfect love and plan upon your heart. One day, as I was listening, I was given these words and this song.

"While we are away,

from our people we will pray,

in our spirit, we will find,

balance in our heart and mind"

Where you are called to be

So many times in life, I have spoken with people who think they need to find a career or job that they will keep for all their working years. As you learn and grow in life, you may have interests that change as you grow. So, don't be hard on yourself, if you do not know what career to choose. It may be that you are like me, and called to move and grow and not to be pinned down to just one way to earn a living. Doors will open, and doors will close. Take it with a grain of salt and move and flow with wisdom and faith growing into your next step here upon this earth. The key is to stay happy and know that all things work out when you stay close enough to kiss God's cheek. Rest and abide in His will be done in and through your life, and everything will be fine, taking it one day at a time.

Thankful for each day given

Every day, we should be thankful, thankful for not only our life, but our breath, and the beauty that surrounds us. If you are not thankful, do all that you can to get back to the basics of life and living closer to nature.

A simpler life is a more thankful life because you see the gifts of life in the things like the leaves changing color upon the Tree's, birds that come and go with the seasons and even the ones that stay and make a home where you live. You more aware of the details in life and see the vibrant colors in a wildflower, or the life of a Bumble Bee as you watch it dance and play.

These are the kind of things I am thankful for, but most of all I am thankful for God who came into my life when I was 10 and helped me to know that He was real and I could have a relationship with him. From that moment in time, my life changed and I was forever thankful for life and all the amazing colors and beauty that I see surrounding me each and every day.
