"Courage" - ‪#‎audreagustafson‬ @ ‪#‎audiegart‬ inspired by ‪#‎lifebook2015‬ @‪#‎andreagomoll‬ this prompt was so inspiring to me that I felt I needed to spend some alone time with God and find out what he wanted to show me about Courage. 6 days later this painting represents what I was shown and learned during that time spent with him. Thank you Lord for being a personal God and loving me enough to show me new lessons. Thank you that I am a work in progress and how you made me...continue to teach me your divine ways always and how I am to apply them daily in my walk! Thank you Andrea Gomoll for the beginning inspiration to start. Xoxo Love Audie

"A Guided Path"

“A Guided Path”- created with soft pastels and charcoal. Inspired by Isaiah 58:11  “The Lord will guide you always”…The inspiration behind this painting is my relationship with God and allowing him to direct my paths. He loves me enough to give me free will but it is by my choice that I seek him, allow him to be the Lord of my life and trust Him to direct my path in life.  There are plenty of scriptures I love on this subject and listed here a few.   xoxo Audie
Proverbs 3:5Trust in the Lord with all your heart,and do not rely on your own understanding; 6 think about Him in all your ways,and He will guide you on the right paths.
Psalm 37:23 A man’s steps are established by the Lord, and He takes pleasure in his way.
Proverbs 16:9 A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps.

Hello everyone ...I have had the privilege of being involved in several artist swaps from some amazing groups the last several weeks.  I highly recommend swaps as it gives you an opportunity to get to know some wonderful souls out there in the art community.    Receiving wonderful things in the mail from other artists helps to inspire my own creativity.   Here are a few things from my art table and it was a joy to share them with others.    One was an ATC swap, the next a Ribbon Doll Swap and the other a Pocket Letter swap.

Playing with Charcoal

I had a peaceful relaxing time finger painting on a birchwood substrate yesterday with charcoal.  I enjoyed it so much that I may not add anything else to this piece.  For now she sits on the easel until I decide to add more to her or just leave her as she is now.   Here is a quick flipagram af how this charcoal portrait progressed.   xo Audie

Pocket Letter with Mixed Media Art

Pocket Letter Design Video --Hello Friends I have finally done it and taken on the blog a sphere plunge!!  So many have asked to follow my projects and asked for videos of my art work.  I decided it was much easier to add a blog and keep a running history of my journey through art and creativity.   We are so blessed to be living in this age of social media with the ability to share and learn from each other from all over the world.  I present you with the first you tube video of a pocket letter I created for a recent swap!  I hope you enjoy the video and look forwarding to meeting new creative souls through this blog adventure.  xo Audie
