My Favorite Artist
I just have to share some exciting news with all of you! My favorite local artist, Kelly Bollman, is now taking on commissions for custom art work! Please do yourself a favor and check out her new website!
About five months ago, I asked Kelly about painting a piece of artwork for our family. I had a vision for some time of this painting and just knew Kelly was the perfect one to make it a reality. The crazy part - this image was just in my head. I didn’t have any pictures or anything to show her about what I wanted. All I knew was I wanted a big tree with Isaiah 61:3 on it, with lots of brown and green. Isaiah 61:3 is our family verse. This is my heart and prayer for my family - that we would all be oaks of righteousness, planted only by the Lord - so that somehow He may be glorified through us.
“They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.”
Isaiah 61:3
When Kelly delivered the painting around Christmas time, I could hardly believe it. She had taken this “tree image” I had in my head and so beautifully put it onto canvas. It was more beautiful than I ever could have imagined!! An even sweeter part of the story….Kelly told me that while she was painting this she was praying for our family. What she didn’t know is that I was pregnant with twins, and not making the info public quite yet. This painting is by far my most cherished piece of art-work…and I have it proudly displayed in my den. It’s the first thing you see when you walk into the house, as a reminder for us and a statement to others. I also love how the written verse is very subtle at the top, so when others ask “What is Isaiah 61:3″ I can tell them what it means to our family and generations to come.
If you are looking for the perfect piece of artwork, please contact Kelly. She is AMAZING and has such a gift!!
