Our personal turmols and various weather storms are not pleasant experiences, especially the damaging tornados or hurricanes similar to Katrina and Sandy.  People seem to become more spiritual and call upon God during storms whether they are atmospheric or life events.  The painting “Storms Pass Away” was started several weeks ago.  Now Sandy has pounded wind gusts and there are serious storm surges on the United States which has left ruins like never seen before.  Other areas in America are dealing with snow storms.

Last week as I painted this artwork, my mind went to the horrible tornadoes of Alabama where homes and lives were destroyed in recent years, especially those in May 2011.  Many times after such weather storms, we see the beautiful sunsets to remind us that the storm has passed.   At that time we should thank God for His blessings and lean upon His loving care for our losses.  Often after the storm when people’s lives are rebuilding, more wonderful blessings come their way. 

We are reminded in Mark 4:39 of Jesus words "Peace, be still.”  And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.  During our church service this week one of the songs, "He will pilot me through life's dark stormy sea.  When blinded eyes can't see the way, my blessed Lord will Pilot me.” Another favorite song is “Til Storm Passes By”. This painting reminds me of some personal storms and those storms have passed away.

Beautiful sunrises and sunsets are earthly blessings reflecting another day God sees fit to give while living our earthly lives. Oh if I never see another one I believe the Glorious Heavenly Home will outshine all sunrises and sunsets.  I heard on the news that New York has had a beautiful rainbow since their storm passed further inland.

The artwork "Storms Pass Away" is size 16x20 inch by 1 1/2 inch, is a gallery canvas, and painted with Atelier interactive paints (similar to oil paints). It is available by contacting artist on this website.
