Insider Members,
Goodbye winter wonderland…. here I come beach!!! 🏝️ Haha well my morning started at 3:50am with one flight completed and another one to go to make it to my beachy destination!!! The first flight went well and I’m so grateful I had the window seat right by the plane’s wing! I never pay for an assigned seat on the flight, (haha because I’d rather use the money for the adventures on the trip) but almost everytime I fly, I get automatically assigned the window seat by the wing. It’s my favorite view while flying. What seat do you prefer when you fly?
My second flight has been delayed which has allowed me the time to write to you and my gosh I have sooo much I wanna share, but I know for sure this email would practically turn into a novel 🤪 so I’m gonna do my best to make it short for today and hopefully I’ll be able to update you better through my next travel art vlog I post after my trip.
How about I start of with showing you two Bibles I finished painting for two separate customers 💗💗
A lady asked me to paint a night and day scene on a Bible that she will be gifting to her husband on his birthday. She had specific requests on the subjects and things to be included on the Bible which made it actually quite fun to create ⬆️
My other customer asked me to paint her a Bible that would match some new floral Bible tabs she got and she asked me to include butterflies and a sunrise and here’s how it turned out ⬇️
She told me she is absolutely OBSESSED with how it turned out which made me super happy to hear 🥰
Now I’ve been absolutely bubbling with excitement to show you this next one 🫧❤️🔥 This one is not a custom order but rather one I felt inspired to paint.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH what do you think of this beauty?! Don’t worry I have plenty more photos to show you and I definitely want to share the meaning that has developed into it. 💗 🐙 🌊
The Bible’s painted hard cover has become like an oceanic hymn, where the Scripture Isaiah 43:2 “When you go through deep waters I will be with you” became the inspiration to create a sea-life scenery in a burst of living color.
The octopus unfurls its arms like calligraphy in motion, each curve brushed in a grayscale tone to complement the vibrant pops of colors reflecting off of its tentacles.
Nearby, a manta ray soars from the bottom, wings wide, washed in gradients of sapphire and radiant white highlights to reflect the beauty of grace.
Across a jellyfish floats up like a lantern of light with soft whites and cool blues pulsing gently, illuminating the depths with a quiet, prayerful glow.
Swimming above is a whale shark as it glides in calm majesty, its vast blue body dappled with speckles of white and subtle hues of pinks to reflect the immensity of creation and the peace found in divine order with a love that is boundless.
Little fish silhouettes swim around to symbolize community while a touch of honeycomb by the octopus symbolizes sweetness and spiritual nourishment.
Looking closer you will notice a pair of butterflies to symbolize transformation, devotion, and a lasting bond to reflect how we have been transformed by Christ and our intimate growing relationship with Him.
As your eyes continue to gaze on the artwork you will see the painted cracks as a reflection of how there used to be a brokenness before Christ and to remind you that the LORD is near the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18.
The painting’s palette feels alive… molten reds and glowing oranges burning with devotion as if passion itself has learned to breathe underwater while the blues cool the fire and carry wisdom and depth.
The whites radiating light, and pinks whispering compassion stitch everything together with tenderness and hope.
Together, the sea creatures do not merely decorate the Bible; they testify to the incredibility of our Creator and His marvelous creations.
The artwork pulses with liveliness, singing with color, movement, and joy.
While the timeless words of the King James Version remain unchanged, the exterior becomes a lively visual reflection of faith, prayer, and creativity. This Bible is singular, intentional, and deeply personal. 💙
This hand painted journaling Bible carries special meaning and is painted with professional grade level paints to last a lifetime, making it something to be cherished, gifted, and passed down.
