Painting was great today! It went fast and at times it felt like help was here in the form of angels. I know that sounds dramatic, but there it is. I believe that help is all around us and if we could see, we would be astonished at who surrounds us.

I feel His hand in this work and know he helps make things happen.

I worked on the apostle behind Judas and the one between Matthew and James. I love this painting. It’s beginning to move past the ‘animated stage’ where you are primarily laying down color.

I’m able to see more clearly the end result now and know this piece will be beautiful, necessary and inspired.

I’m going home to spend time with my daughter and grandchildren. I am going to hate when they go home.
