This is my masterpiece Rose. This was following an Anna Mason tutorial. All those folds and petals were so hard to see and paint. Like the strawberry, I will probably never attempt this again. But I am so glad I did this and kept working and trying to find all the spots that needed more paint. Without those dark spots this would have been a flat, uninteresting picture.
Sometimes the hardest parts of our lives turn out to be our masterpieces. I had to trust Anna Mason’s guiding through the tough parts. We need to trust Our Teacher and Our Lord. He has a plan. Even when we cannot imagine “why” or “why now?” there is a reason and we’ll understand it some day.
