SingToTheLord

Sing to the LORD a brand new song! Praise him from the horizon of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and everything that lives in it, you coastlands and those who live there! Isaiah 42:10

Feeling overwhelmed? It’s time to sing.

I’ve found there’s nothing like singing to get my eyes off the trouble in this dark world and lift my soul to God. (With all the sad, bad news swirling about lately, I’ve had to sing a lot!)

Here are some simple ways to fit singing into your day: [Read more…]

At King David’s Table

“At David’s Table” Mixed Media

Do you have a favorite Old Testament character? Mephibosheth is mine. I think it’s because I see so much of myself in his story.

He was crippled by a fall, unable to save himself, and hiding out in fear when, one day, the unthinkable happens. King David not only seeks him out, but restores his inheritance and extends a gracious, merciful invitation to join his family by sitting at his table. Mephibosheth’s perceived mortal enemy was actually his mighty deliverer!

Read Mephibosheth’s beautiful story for yourself in 2 Samuel 4:4 and 2 Samuel 9:1-13.

Prints of “At King David’s Table” are now available in my ImageKind.com print gallery. I love all the print & framing options ImageKind offers for my artwork! 🙂

A Summertime Home Portrait

I loved painting this sea side home. Makes me want to visit the coast of Massachusetts!

If you provide original reference photos, I can paint your home anywhere in the world.

Captured By The Cross

July 13, 2015 by Debbie Hannah Skinner Leave a Comment

When I get weary or discouraged, the best thing I’ve learned to do is stop and think about the cross.

I painted this colorful cross on aquabord (yep, that’s the correct spelling) while meditating on Jesus’ deep love for me that led him to suffer and die on a cross.

“Devotional Doodling” is what I like to call it. 🙂

The aquabord surface is very forgiving. You can lift paint off of it almost back to the white, unlike watercolor paper which allows limited lifting of color. On the cruel cross, Jesus lifted the penalty of my sin from my soul. Now, He pleads my cause and loves me unconditionally.

Amazing love!!! How can it be?

Here’a one of my current favorite songs on this subject. “How Can It Be” by Lauren Daigle. I hope it encourages you today…
