I grew up in the evangelical church. I do not consider myself Christian anymore. I didn’t like or agree with the homophobia, sexism, etc often preached. However, some Bible verses still resonate with me:

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

This perfectly describes the type of love that I would like to share and receive.

I like to believe that love is a new journey.

Whoever you are, falling in love with anything is a new journey with a positive starting point leading to an unknown destination.

Love is entering the unknown together, be that with a person or a hobby, or any other passion. Embrace it and get on board.🚉💞.

On that note:

I'd like to debut one of my new "Trains" series of paintings.

"Love is a Journey"

Digital Watercolor and Pastels in ArtRage.

by me: Velvet Blue.

This will be available on Canvas once I finish the series on my Etsy.

Dogs bring so much joy to my life

This week I’m going to produce a new piece of work for @Nela and the theme for #Artstr #Art club but I thought it would be a right moment to share Edward hoppers

Morning sun.

This could be someone who has lost love and it’s reflecting on past events and how’s it changed her for better or worse but it also could be someone waking up to love. The sun kissing her body, the chatter of people outside in the street, the noise of the birds and colours of the earth. Something to think about.

I think nearly my whole body of work has to do with love🤷🏽

But alas feeling lazy on a holiday I'll post 2 that come to mind to me as the ones in most proud of🤷🏽

Angel and Anathema

Nosnevets

(2011)

https://vimeo.com/94694595

My first film shot on film for a college class. We were given 100 ft of film with in this side turns out to be about 2 mins worth of footage. So I had come up with this idea for a story that I could shoot in order and everything a chase scene sort of thing. But my best friend at the time also in the class has a crush on this girl also in the class. So I went up to her "oh I have this perfect idea for this film for the final and you were there one I pictured basically. Would you please please please be in my film??" She said yes and I told my bud ok dude you're the guy on my film, this is your chance to get close and see what's up. Turns out she had at boyfriend at the time🤷🏽

Anyway I was just trying to get them close. And talking. So I made the story up as we shot it kind of expecting not to have anything and that the rest of the films I made for the class would be good enough for a b or something🤷🏽 Or turn this lynchy and have no meaning🤷🏽🤷🏽

I was like "oh yeah stand by the lockers and talk." And SHE was like "what if he pushes me up against the lockers and kisses me? " And I read like " yes that! Go! "

They're married now🤷🏽

They played this at their wedding🤍🖤🤷🏽🤷🏽🖤🤍
