Patrice Pastel: Perennial Phlox

A Still Life

I remember my art teacher when I was 12 years old who taught me the principles of creating a still life drawing or painting. I learned that in art I could capture time and not let it pass, but keep it as a secret keepsake in this treasure chest of life. Thank you to My First Love; My Lord and Savior. For it is He who gives and creates, teaching us through this journey. I am forever grateful to see His extraordinary glory in every ordinary moment.

"...be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth" Psalm 46:10

Summer Perennial Phlox

Hard to say goodbye for the Summer to this beauty. Its fragrance brings me back to lazy Summer play days running by beautifully kept gardens on the banks of every home. The perfume permeates the air and I once again feel 5 at my grandmother's house on a hill that I was lucky to call my first childhood home.
