CANVAS PAINTING

20x24 INCH ACRYLIC PAINTING ON CANVAS.  ALL PAINTINGS ARE MADE WITH WATER-BASED NONTOXIC PAINTS, AND ARCHIVAL-QUALITY ACID-FREE COTTON CANVASES.
 
THIS PAINTING CAME ABOUT AFTER DITCHING AN UNFINSHED PAINTING. AFTER BRUSHING OVER THE PAINTING WITH WHITE PAINT, I  NOTICED I HAD PAINTED THE SHAPE OF A SWAN.  RECOGNIZING THE SWAN AS A SYMBOL OF GRACE,  I REALIZED GOD WAS  GUIDING ME TO HONOR MY OWN GRACE.  I QUICKLY FOUND GRATITUDE  FOR THE LOVE AND FAVOR I HAVE RECEIVED THOUGHOUT MY LIFE.  IN PARTICULAR, MY CREATIVE ABILITY.   IN THIS PAINTING, THE SWAN  IS RAISING  ITS WINGS IN CELEBRATION OF GRACE.
