One of my very favorite hymns is “It Is Well with My Soul”. besides the amazing traditional song, I love the version Hillsong came out with a few years ago “It is Well”. If you haven’t heard it yet, you can listen to it here: https://youtu.be/T0dIWJ4t4Jg.

This painting is part of my hymns collection I learned how to do paint on hymns and also mount them on cradled board, through a course taught by an amazing artist and person, Valerie Sjodin. Click here to see her website.

For this hummingbird, I decide to carve the image into a stamp, and stamp the image where I wanted it on the hymn and then add the paint. It turned out to be a great process, and I have used in in the last few paintings in this collection. Here is a video of me carving the stamp that I posted on Instagram.

Now I have this wonderful stamp that I can use in other pieces of art and collage, like my new Art Journals!

Hop on over to The Blessings Shop to see the inside of the journals and other products with hymns and hummingbirds! These make great gifts and Christmas is around the corner!
