This morning, the 2024 Winter Launch of The Scouted Studio is available! The Scouted Studio

Search for me by “Search by Artist” or enjoy them all.

Beautiful art, creative and diverse artists are contributing. 

Initially, my pieces were my trademark dark background, a bold color called “Payne’s Grey”. I struggled. The deadline was looming. I didn’t have peace and I did not feel hopeful as I sat sort of worried about what to do. 

I listened to my intuition, my gut, the Holy Spirit and with many layers and small edits, the backgrounds became more pure, a soft ivory with hints of shadowy blues, a hint of a torn piece of paper from a Bible, the word “hope” in every hem…hidden. 

Hope is hidden in each of us.

This morning, I woke questioning whether I’d made a good decision for an upcoming art event or whether I had jumped too soon, chasing worthiness. 

Four things happened.

I woke to a song’s lyrics’ “you’re not finished with me yet.”, the sunrise through the gauzy drapes, Psalm 119 in a memory telling me God is good, and another thought, “you make all things new.”

“Your extravagant kindness to me makes me want to follow your words even more! Teach me how to make good decisions, and give me revelation-light, for I believe in your commands. Before I was humbled I used to always wander astray, but now I see the wisdom of your words. Everything you do is beautiful, flowing from your goodness; teach me the power of your wonderful words!“

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭65‬-‭68‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Then I created a cyclical graph to help it stick, the process for doing new things, things that may seem too scary, too uncomfortable or “too late” for you.

I’m certain this process is not just for artists. I hope it may help you. Feel free to keep it, share it, circle back when you need a reset.

We all do.

Continue and believe.
