Dedicated to Chris Underwood
1979-2012
Whew, this is a heart challenging thing to do. In my last blog, I wrote of the day a certain artist showed and taught me, with much joy, his wonderful technique of painting. It was written with hope; that he would be cancer-free, that he would he healed and still be living life to the fullest with his beautiful family,that he would still be creating masterpieces.
This blog is written with an array of so much emotion, as Chris Underwood has passed on to be with Jesus. It is penned with sadness because of a person gone, who contained so much love still to give, so many beautiful pieces still left to create, and me being selfish, longing to be again marveled by his talent of that which was yet to be birthed. Yet is it also written with joy and hope, knowing that God has a insanely perfect plan for us all, and also, with soooo much gratitude.
Even though I don't think he fully understood all that my heart contained, of the gratitude of that simple act, and of the inspiration that my being absorbed,
....I pray he knew.
God bless you Amy, Seb, Sophie and Benjamin Promise.
Our hearts are continually lifting yours up.

I am excited for 2013.
A
new motivation is coming over me, mainly because I have been spurred on by the
one who took the time to water a seed that was buried deep within...a seed of
creativity, the seed of being an artist. I am forever grateful to Chris
Underwood, who through his work, gave me, rather us all, a world of beauty to
aspire to and as a friend recently said, "gave us a window into Heaven
though his paintings". Thank you Chris, for allowing God to shine though
you in this unique and lovely way. And thank you God, for sharing Chris with
us,
if but only for a short time.
With such anticipation, I
look forward to see what emerges from my brush these next few months. I pray
that even a small amount of his anointing graces my hands.
Even though I don't think he fully understood all that my heart contained, of the gratitude of that simple act, and of the inspiration that my being absorbed,
....I pray he knew.
God bless you Amy, Seb, Sophie and Benjamin Promise.
Our hearts are continually lifting yours up.
