Thankfulness

Grace

Soft pastel, 8x10"

This is a painting I've had for a while but I love the simple expression of gratitude. One of the pastors from our church 'posed' for my camera when I asked him to show me how he prayed. I think I captured the sincerity and fervency that characterize his life and walk with the Lord Jesus. May we all be so sincerely and fervently thankful!

Deborah Secor said...: Hi Celeste--thanks... Kitty is an incredible painter. I use her paper almost all the time, of course, but just last Thursday I also used a Createx underpainting for one of my pieces, which is something she inspired me to try. Say hi for me next time you see her...

“…we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1)

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

“There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end it leads to death.” (Proverbs 14:12)

“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

“…if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

“For ‘whoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.’” (Romans 10:13)

“He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.” (1 John 5:12,13)

Shipping Artwork

I ship unframed paintings in Crystal Clear Bags, which are made from low-static 100% virgin polypropylene that's acid- and lignin-free. These bags are a high grade 'museum quality' product that I've used for years. I store each finished painting in its own bag, signed and ready to send off to you. You're able to view your painting easily, show it to others, or store it away safely inside its bag. (My only stipulation is that you not write on the bag with a pencil or pen, as this can score the surface of the pastel inside the bag.)

When you're ready to frame it you can slit three sides of the bag and lift it from the painting's surface. Pastel is dusty, so you'll see some fall-off on the bag, which does no harm to the integrity of the painting. Once the bag is removed your painting should be carefully and securely framed beneath glass.

Shipping methods vary depending on the size of the painting. I often send work as a priorty package via USPS, although occasionally I use UPS or Fed-Ex. I must have your street address for these.
