We both wrote down what we felt while painting and what we saw looking at it afterward. We only did this with the first 2 of the paintings, the other 3 turned out more for just fun than being prophetic or having any kind of deeper meaning.
painting #1: "Cosmic Paradise" (I kept this one)
How Shayla felt while painting: I felt the royalty of the Lord (hence the use of the purple). I felt the wrapping of His arms around me as I swiped the paint brush. I chose the colors I did because the bright feeling of His Spirit around us.
What she saw looking at the finished product: I see a garden on an island. It's full of radiant colors, flowers of every kind. It's just after a morning rain and there is a feeling of renewal and the smell of fresh vibrant fragrance. There is still a lite mist but there is a sense of a new beginning.
How I felt while painting: I felt his presense enveloping us so heavily. I felt I was supposed to convey wind somehow, and praise, and fun, and just ... so good. Broad strokes, texture, swirls, movement.
What I saw looking at the finished product: (it kinda came out poetry-like)
Explosion of creation in my cosmos
Swirling. Movement. Energy.
Breath of Life stirring things into being, into existence.
So exuberant.
They sing out their joy, dancing, streaking their songs across the sky. Proclaiming their excited praise.
Spinning. Twisting. Twirling. Overtaking. Exploding. Smearing. Shinning.
The angels dart about, dancing, playing in the light-songs.
Wonderous.
Perfect.
Paradise. <3
painting #2: "Strokes of the Sea" (Shayla kept this one)
How Shayla felt while painting: I felt His wave crashing over my life.
What she saw looking at the finished product: Like waves wash the sand and erase the footprints, sand castles and letters in the sand - that is how God cleanses and washes away all of our yesterdays. He is the wave in out lives, mind, body and soul and He daily washes the old away and gives us a new day with no mistakes - like a wave washing the sand.
How I felt while painting: The light blue colors we chose and the long, broad strokes were so calming and peaceful. the waves curling in on itself continuous movement.
What I saw looking at the finished product:
The thundering of the waters
curling, falling, tumbling over itself
crushing against the shore relentlessly
violently overtaken
. . . yet . . .
the calming blues and greens shimmer in the sunlight
the sound lulls me to peace
the spray refreshes me
its coolness invites me closer into its depths
once more to draw me deeper still
the ever continuous strokes of the sea,
oh how it soothes my sould and lightens my heart
painting #3: "Speckled and Spots 1980's vol.1" (I kept this one)

painting #4: "Speckled and Spots 1980's vol.2" (Shayla kept this one)
