So it definitely falls under the "art as creative expression" definition of angeljoy.<BR/><BR/>I think I've shared this before, but when I take photos of zoo animals or other wildlife/nature subjects and post them on our web site, I do so with the idea of showing how unique and beautiful even the so-called "ugliest" can be. God made them all, and their diversity is absolutely amazing. Whether that translates into the average person saying, "Wow, God is terrific," I don't know, but I do know that I'm amazed at God's creativity every time I look at these photos. (Er...every time I look at the good photos, that is, lol!)Triciahttp://www.lowhorn.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391072111621034521.post-11453558535761509172009-04-07T17:00:00.000+01:002009-04-07T17:00:00.000+01:00Last year at Spring Harvest I came across artwork ...Last year at Spring Harvest I came across artwork by Oliver Pengilley - I couldn't afford his work but purchased a DVD entitled 'Representation' animated paintings an act of worship which Oliver and Jim Pooley had compiled and I do enjoy watching it on my own. <BR/><BR/>Oliver says I asked God, "Is there a way to draw people closer into you through an image?" Jesus answered by giving me the idea to record my paintings as they were being formed, not just as one imagine, but as an animation.<BR/><BR/>www.oliverpengilley.co.uk<BR/>www.jimpooleyl.comJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04216978672594822130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391072111621034521.post-49078000831533230522009-04-07T16:03:00.000+01:002009-04-07T16:03:00.000+01:00I think of art as a creative expression.

I see God's creation as a beautiful creative expression of art.<BR/>Your sketch is wonderful, I might add!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182429028607924847noreply@blogger.com
