This piece grew out of a desire to honor the working cowGIRL. She not only has the responsibilities of house and garden, feeding and clothing the kids, and PTA, but she is also her husband's best hand without complaint. She helps pull calves, vaccinate, brand, and sort cattle. Sand grits in her chewing gum, sweat and dust become mud in her hair, branding smoke burns her eyes and unconventional "peanut butter" sticks to her chaps. They're up in the night with a foaling mare and as hubby's pickup pulls out of the gate at noon, that newborn filly manages to slip under the fence and into the creek bed and this lady of the range is in lifting her out. As she leans on the fence watching mare and colt nuzzle, she takes a deep breath and thanks God for the good life. If you think I may be speaking from experience, you are right! |

As I work in clay on a sculptural piece, with wonderful music on the CD player, my studio begins to turn into a sanctuary. The joy of creating overtakes every other emotion, time seems to stop, and the Lord's directive presence becomes most evident. I can only imagine the joy Jesus has in His creation that lives and breathes, sings and dances, paints and sculpts, writes music and poetry, raises children, loves the wife, loves the husband, pats the dog, hugs the cat, brings home the bacon, and stays the course. Creativity is not limited to the arts, it comes in street clothes. God is the direct author of all that has been achieved on this planet, in space, in the arts, in science and medicine, in technology; and continues to be creatively involved in every aspect of His creation. Thanks be to God for allowing us to "borrow" His talent; and to have so much fun doing so!
