 Abstract
©2017 Donna Ham Bloom in the Happy Places 24" x 48" acrylic on textured wood panel I was not liking this painting about halfway through finishing it. I was going to title it "Bloom in the Broke Places." A visit from my sweet 6-year-old granddaughter changed all that. She walked right up to my painting and said, "I love it. It's so happy." From that point forward, I started leaving the broken places in my heart and headed toward the happy places. This painting is in honor of my little Zalena with her innocent and happy heart. She brings joy into every room she enters and helps remind me to see the happiness that surrounds me. Suffering and sorrow try to overtake me, but happiness wins today. I am filled with joy as I look at this painting. We should all bloom and be restored in the happy places. Donna Ham, Artist For His anger endureth but a moment, and in His favor is life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalm 30:5

 Bloom in the Wild Places
24" x 48" acrylic on textured wood panel I am on a new journey and this painting represents the wilderness that I have been traveling through. Although the journey has been difficult, there are always places where beauty and joy transform the wilderness into a place to commune with God. This painting's title was inspired by a quote in the book "Hinds Feet on High Places," an allegory about fear, pride, anquish, loneliness and bitterness where sorrow and suffering are constant companions. Toward the end of the journey, sorrow and suffering become joy and peace. I hope you enjoy my latest painting, "Bloom in the Wild Places" and as you traverse this world and find yourself in the wilderness, remember to bloom in your own wild places and find grace and mercy in the presence of God. Donna Ham, Artist "The Lord God is my strength; and He will make my feet like hinds' feet, and He will make me to walk upon mine high places." Habakkuk 3:19 |
