I don't know if you all think about sunsets like I do--I just love them and find that they are so special. Our Creator has created such wonderful works of art with His paintbrush, hasn't He? As I was out last evening and the sun was almost set and there wasn't much light left, I just kep on snapping. All of the photos didn't turn out but I thought I'd share yet one more with you all of the beautiful sky.

As I stood there and stared at the beautiful sky that was changing by the minute and as I heard the honking of the geese, the less noisy quacking of the many mallards, and other wild things out there on the water, my mind kept on helping me to remember about the words of a song I had heard earlier in the day on the radio. It's entitled, "The Paintbrush" and I'm going to share the words with you...


THE PAINT BRUSH
Chuck Milhuff


Life started out like a canvas
And God started painting on me
But I took the paintbrush from Jesus
And painted what I wished to see.

The colors I painted kept running
And the objects were all out of size
I had made a mess of my painting
My way now seemed so unwise.

So I brought my painting to Jesus
All the colors, the pieces so wrong
In the markets of earth it was worthless
But His blood made my painting belong.

He worked with no condemnation
Never mentioned the mess I had made
Then He dipped His brush in the rainbow
And He signed it, the price has been paid.

When I gave the brush back to Jesus,
When I gave the brush back to Him
He started all over life's canvas to fill
When I gave to Jesus the brush of my will.

He worked with no condemnation
Never mentioned the mess I had made
Then He dipped His brush in the rainbow
And He signed it, the price has been paid.



Yes, it was a lovely sunset the other night and even though I was standing in snow that was deeper than my knees and I didn't remember to bring my gloves from the car, I so enjoyed looking at the wonderful artwork created by my Father and I thank Him for bringing to my remembrance this wonderful poem.

Ooh! thats different, I love that heavy tracery of branches against that smokey looking sky, and as deep in shadow as the landscape is, there is detail in the darkest parts. Some lovely tracery in the clouds, and the water has picked up those sky tones very well indeed, if that is snow on the land then its done a very good job of giving the landscape just enough brioghtness to give the detail I mentioned earlier. Is that an air traffic controle pylon to the left of the picture, not important just curious.

Oh pat this photo is so beautiufl. I  just love sunsets.

Awesome picture.

I missed this one earlier.  Just about faultless.  Wonderful shot.

Our Lord could well be titled, "The Lord of Artistry."  He is, after all, the Lord of glory, and His artistry does indeed glorify Him.  Well done, Pat.  Now we want to see some of the other shots you said you took.

lovely picture Pat.  aw
