(3/3) This painting gave me some serious artist’s block. Swipe for previous versions, plus a super happy photo of me and @bitti101 and (my) Hugo making a guest appearance (Bitti also has a pup named Hugo). Sometimes I can see the painting and it totally transfers to the canvas. Sometimes I paint it three ways and paint over it again and again until it slowly gets closer to what I see in my head. Slowly, then all at once, all those layers build up to what it was always intended to be.

(2/3) Psalms 34:4-5 I sought the LORD’s help and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Look to him and be radiant; do not let your faces be ashamed. . . . @bitti101 And @isaactullis dated for four years. Four years of long waiting and long distance. Their wedding was a sweet celebration of the end of waiting and the beginning of a lifetime of joy. And if you know them, they are incredibly joyful. In all their waiting, they looked to help from the Lord. I got to see this first hand since Isaac and Bitti were some of my first friends in KC. Through small group at @redeemerkc, late night ice cream trips, and exploring KC together, I got to see them serve and love one another as they navigated living in the same city together. It was so sweet to step alongside them in that season of waiting these last two years, and then get to cheer them on on their wedding day. In all His glory, they were radiating with joy when May 25th finally came. They just couldn’t stop smiling and loving on and be present with everyone around them. I tried to capture that same explosion of joy in this painting.

(1/3) My friends Isaac and Bitti got married on May 25. This is the painting I did for their wedding, which took place in a grove of trees overlooking a field on a perfect spring day. The painting is based off of Psalm 34, which is a fantastic song of praise in which David erupts with praise to God almost like he’s crazy. Probably because he was trying to appear crazy in order to escape, but still, the Lord delivers. Specifically, Bitti shared with me that their favorite lines are verses 4 and 5: . . . Psalms 34:4-5 I sought the LORD’s help and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Look to him and be radiant; do not let your faces be ashamed.
