Cat Love and Zazzle account



I opened an account on Zazzle today See my store at Zazzle. And I painted this cat for doggie T-shirt with a sign "I love cats" :)

Often I have certain distance from my usual, big paintings on canvas or boards. Mainly it is because I create so much and often run out of supplies and my selling is not so quick :(
But that is the time that I work on paper and draw, and explore different technique. And I think that God use that period to teach me. You probably know that I am more of a God-taught painter than self-taught? As much as it is painful and hard when you can not afford to buy a canvas and often paints too, and you have a need to paint so big like a need for air to breed, I take it as a privilege from God.
Why? Because that is His way to guide me in a new area where I never would go otherwise. If I feel comfortable and secure and familiar why should I move? It is good as it is. But God knows, if we stay on the same place, we loose so much. The treasures that He prepared for us to discover we can not receive standing in the comfort zone.

Till yesterday I didn't understand my impulse to paint butterflies. I didn't have any extra love for them. They are beautiful God's beings, but that is all. Then yesterday I suddenly realized, they too have to be born again! ... And I wonder before how to explain to other people what is that "born again" in image that they can understand, and in the same time painted butterflies.

"Jesus answered and said to him,
"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.""

John 3:3
