I just received an email and images from two students who had gone hiking and made a work of art on their travels. I was filled with joy! Why? They are learning of all the joy God will give the heart which longs to know, love, praise, and worship Him by our acts of making art. There is great Christian contentment in the creative act when we are surrounded by His creation. It is a way of being satisfied while living with a soul that longs to be filled. That is what art-making is, it is being contented while longing to be overjoyed, it is like making good work in the Studio the Master left behind, surrounded by His Glory we make things for Him, imitating Him. All the while waiting to be welcomed into His Studio Workshop, He is making for us, when we will make like Him. Michaela and Mia, you moved the heart of an old soul. Thank you.
