Peace and Kindness | Abstract Coastal Painting

Abstract Painting. 8 x 8. Gallery depth canvas with side painted. Wired and ready to hang. I layered oil pastels, oil sticks, and charcoal over the paint. After they were complete, I sealed each piece with varnish. 'Be Still' It's more challenging than it sounds, isn't it? At least, it is for me. As a teenager, I would lounge in my room, reading and drawing for hours. However, I don't 'lounge' quite so well now. It's tough to sit still and even harder to 'be still.' But it is important.'And know that I am God' is the second part of that psalm. I was taught that it means 'stop striving, stop fighting, relax, and stand in awe of God.' I'm still working on that. This collection serves as a reminder to be a little less busy and a little more still.
