“Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing.” Isaiah 💕🌸🎉🦋 . Love this verse so much.. . joy gladness thanksgiving singing . . I think there is a lot of power in these words. More power than we realize. Even through the ups and downs and all arounds of life, fighting for joy even in the hard helps us in deep ways. And the continual strength of God’s Words give us sparkling hope. . . His love is like a banner of roses and birdsong over us. 💕Plus adding in some sunshine yellow and flower crowns are fun ways to bring in that joy too! 💕😊🌸 Happy Friday to you! 💕 . ⭐️P.S. There is a print similar to this painting available in my online store, link in profile. 💕😊😊🌸🍭⭐️ . . #triciarobinsonart #joyandgladness #singingheart #thankfulheart

"What will you do with your one wild and precious life?"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Mary Oliver⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I learned more about this when I was 30 years old. I was diagnosed with a rare blood condition. And my life changed. My energy was depleted. And I was on major meds for over 10 years. But through it all, God taught me so much! I learned to see this life as very precious! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I learned to be more free and not care as much about what people thought of me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I started to see the joy and wildness of creating and painting! And I was seeing God's smile in such big and beautiful and kind ways!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here's what I'm continually learning about:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Embracing the WONKY ( the beautiful imperfect). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Loving COLOR!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Remembering to PLAY and Have FUN! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Take more risks.. be ok to fail and try again! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And "Smile at the future!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So where shall we go today? What shall we do? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's throw some color around and laugh and have some fun!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ God has given us a glorious and precious life! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy day to you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ love,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tricia
“I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ― Claude Monet ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I started learning how to paint with freedom and joy, the first thing I painted was a vase of flowers. Fast forward 16 years and I still love painting flowers and painting happy too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's so much more fun when we can let go of the perfection and embrace the freedom and playfulness! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cheers to the wonky and the playful and all the beautiful colors God has made!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy day to you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ love,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tricia⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S.

"I'm thanking you God, from a full heart, I'm writing the book on your wonders. I'm whistling, laughing, and jumping for joy, I'm singing your song High God." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Psalm 9⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cheers to today! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's try an experiment! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's make a list of 5 things we're thankful for and write it down.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And then let's jump up for joy and laugh and maybe even whistle about it all! And maybe add in some skipping too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And then see what happens! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Will people think we're crazy? maybe..⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But walking with JOY ... that God Joy ( that kind that is unexplainable at times) is a lot of fun and makes life so much more "in full color"! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cheers to the jumping! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy day!

The row of rockstar women- in Proverbs 31 style! ⭐️ . (Plus spring sale today through Friday midnight!) 20 % off prints! Enter code spring20 at check out. Link in profile😊 😊💕💕💕✨✨.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “She looks over a field and buys it, then with money she’s put aside, plants a garden.🌺🌷🌸 She dresses in colorful 🍭🌈🎨linens and silks.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She designs gowns and sells them. 🎨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And she always faces tomorrow with a smile.” 😊😊😊😊🌷💕🌸🍭🌈 Proverbs 31, the Message.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I love this Proverbs 31 ( The Message) so very much! For years I thought of the Proverbs woman as someone I couldn’t relate to, someone who was in that “too good to be true” type of category. I saw a woman who had it all together and kept her house sparkling clean and her hair and life and family “shiny perfect". There was no room for the beauty of wonky.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But then God opened my eyes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And I saw the passage in an entirely different way. I saw this woman as artistic, colorful, strong and empowered but also not perfect. I am thinking her house wasn’t always clean. 😊 And some of her dress designs may have been wonky. 😊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She bought real estate. She sold it. She planted a garden! And she was a dress designer! I’m imagining her sketching at night by candlelight and dreaming up ideas of colorful dresses! 🌈🍭⭐️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m imagining her so filled up with her craft, that she couldn’t help but smile at the future. I also love the version, “and she laughs with no fear of the future.” .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She took action and used her imagination to make her dresses and gardens become real. She gave to the poor, she was thoughtful and kind. She SMILED at the future. 🍭💕🌸🎉✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So to me she’s a rockstar. 🍭💕✨🎉🌈🎨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ God gives us desires and dreams. And when we try new things and put our dreams into action, life is brighter.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And EVEN IF WE FAIL... it makes life fuller. 😊💕🎉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cheers to smiling at the future!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Thursday!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (print available, link in profile)
"I'll never quit telling the story of your love." Psalm 89⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Somewhere along the way with my art, I started telling more and more stories with my paintings....heart stories, God stories. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And when I look at these bags, I don't just see bags, I see stories. Stories of hope and grace. ( The Four). Stories about courage and love. ( Esther) Stories to remind us to be free to be who God meant us to be. These are reminders that all of our stories are beautiful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy beautiful day to you. And may we continue telling the stories of God's love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ love,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tricia⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. The "Four" bag plus "Your Story" and the flowery "Book Club" bag are in my website store. ( link in profile.)
"Come as you are"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Come to me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Matthew 11:28-30 The Message (MSG)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ......Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I want those words to be like a song playing in my heart and a song that plays over and over and over again. I want to keep company with God, I want to live in more freedom... and live lightly.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We may feel left out, burned out, worn out.... but He gives us rest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This lent, I want my heart to be still and listen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I want to watch how God works and learn more about His unforced rhythms of grace. Money can't buy this. But in the stillness... that's where the riches are.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Are you tired, worn out? Burned out on religion?" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So very often, God's ways of working are way different than the "religious" ways or in my parts of the world, the "southern religious" ways.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thankful to know the God who made that watercolor moon shine so beautifully last night. Thankful to know the God who gave the sweet song to the bright red cardinal. Thankful to know the God who gave us DNA and cells and eyes to see His wonderful world! And then with all that, we can talk with Him anytime and at any moment. So much beauty in Him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So much life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So much love.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He truly is are "all in all and everything." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Happy Tuesday!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ (print available, link in profile)
