Throughout my life, God has provided miracles and provisions in a million different ways. A couple of years ago, a quirky thing happened. A stranger whom I had never met, named Linda, called me and said she was an artist who no longer painted. She wanted to bring me all of her oil paints and other art supplies if I wanted them. Of course I said yes, and, as a result, I experimented with tons of colors I never would have bought. I still have all the paint, including many tubes that are so old I can't even open them (although I have tried with pliers and other various tools). But I keep them as a reminder of how God has lavished me with so many gifts I don't deserve. I may never see Linda again, but God used her to open a door for me that may have remained shut. This painting below was painted almost entirely with Linda's paints.
Thanks to you Linda, Oil on Canvas, 24" x 36"

I love this painting! I wish I had a "Linda". When I taught school several years ago, one of my student's mom gave me a bunch of old paint brushes that had belonged to her grandmother. I still have some of them and they are precious to me!
