day two of graffiti in my shop

Day two messing around with day one....


Looks a little different hey... having troubles with controlling paint and drips and I don't know if that is a paint nozzle thing or a type of paint issue or just me being a rookie but I will just keep practicing.  My mind spins with just so much more... the dream of getting a message out there in word and picture.

Here's a reminder what day one looked like...


   This whole thing is like an illustration of what I have been struggling to do with God.  He has called me to so much more and I have been dragging my feet.  I have been too afraid to step out and just do it.  Even just to try. Justifying it by claiming I don't have enough direction, I don't know what it is suppose to look like. But He finally pinned me down lol... on the roof of a shed at our farm to be specific.  We were reroofing the shed putting new tin on and there were some spongy parts of the roof (a little soft and not safe to stay standing on) so my husband asks for some spray paint to be thrown up to us and asks me to mark the spots.  Of course I dutifully marked them but then there was no stopping hahahaha!!!  Here was the canvas! A canvas that didn't matter! I could put whatever I wanted on it, no matter if it was horrible it was going to get covered up.  It felt so amazing I laughed out loud a lot... well until the paint can emptied out.  Something clicked as soon as I started and now I feel the pull even stronger.  It's funny I knew I was going to like it but it was more than that it was like a sense of freedom, of release, of life!  I don't know if you will understand what I mean but it was GOOD.
