Painting, Wycliffe, and pumpkin ice cream

My first big painting. It's 3' by 3'10". Although I really enjoyed it, I think the way I would rather use paint is to paint on things, rather than just paint things. I am certain that this is why I am more attracted to abstract painting than representational (at least for my own doing). Painting abstractly is more about putting the paint on the canvas than making the paint on the canvas look like something else.

Last night I met Ron and Cathy Binder, missionaries who worked in Panama and Columbia translating the bible for a tribe called the Wounaan. I got to watch a play that was created to document their experience working with these people and the challenges that come with trying to learn and translate a new language, living in a totally foreign culture, and feeling inadequate to do God's work. It was fascinating to hear their stories of adventure and learning. It reminded me a little of the book Peace Child.

Last night I also had a bowl of pumpkin ice cream. Oh...my...goodness. It was that good. Like pumpkin pie a la mode all-in-one. So good. Worth getting, even if you are Vegan.
