Description
I painted this impressionistic watercolor using wet colored tissue paper, water soluble wax crayons, and watercolor pencils. After letting the colors bleed into one another, I later edited it to create this batik-like effect.
As I was doing this I was reminded of the time twelve years ago when I felt impressed by the Spirit to make a prayer garden out of my back yard. As I worked tirelessly in my garden to make it a place of beauty and sanctuary for others, I learned how to enter into His Garden where the work has already been done.
As I entered by faith into the rest of His grace I found that it's a place where no work is allowed. That's because in His Garden the work is already finished! I learned that the only thing left for me to do is to enjoy sweet fellowship with Him as I hear Him calling me upon the gentle wind of His Spirit to enter more fully into the rest that he has already provided... Himself!♥

Charlene, I'm sorry for the typo where I just called you Constance. I guess I was thanking a Constance earlier and somehow the wires in my fingers got crossed. :-)
