Encouragement for Artists
July 8, 2008
Today’s Featured Artist is…Mystele Kirkeeng AKA: littleglimpses!
So, tell us…
Q: What are your favorite mediums to work with?
A: Hmmm. That’s a hard one because I’ve only been at this painting thing since February of this year (2008). I’m still finding my wings here! Right now, I really enjoy anything I can get my hands on, from vintage, rusty stuff to lyrics from spirituals to new, crisp decorative papers. I paint/detail with acrylics, charcoal, inks, watercolors, and oil pastels…so far!
Q: Where does your inspiration come from?
A: Definitely encouragement - to give courage. So many people are weighed down by this consumerist, self-centered culture that we are creating in America. Its effects are evident & far reaching. It messes up home, relationships, ideas of success/achievement…the list goes on. People know something is wrong. There’s an ache, an emptiness, an urge to slow down, to start over. I hope that my art will shine, like a city on a hill, God’s love and mercy into the hearts of the people it reaches. I hope God will use what he’s given me to help jar hearts to new life even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Whooo-hoo! I got a shipment from The Wood Man! Remember him from the You Tube video last winter?
How exciting to have such a stack of boxframes! I think they are pretty and they smell so good. I did not know where I was going to keep them all…but then I figured out I could put them right under my table in the middle of the room. You might notice the paint buckets jacking up my table…I do that to save my back from breaking. This way I can stand up and work and not have to do that half-bend thing.
What!?
