About

Hello!
My name is Tonya.
 I have a problem with paint.

Not a day goes by that I don't paint or sketch something,

usually not on purpose.
 I just seem to notice things 'need something' and then paint them.

We're all good at something: singing, an instrument, athletics, building, speaking

maybe being a good listener and friend.

I realized a short time ago while reading Matthew 25:14-46

that God wanted me to realize what I am good at and use it.

I thought of paint.

I don't consider myself a superior artist...not at all.

But I love doing arts and crafts, and I loved teaching it when I did.

I can't teach right now because I am busy with my own kids, our farm, and keeping our house clean

(or trying to)

 but I thought of here:

a blog to share what I love.

Here are my plans for this blog:

*  art lessons (weekly, for the most part)

  

*  vintage art clips from old books I have collected to use to create things

*   crafts

*  coloring pages, coloring cards, educational printables, and coloring pages for Bible verses and passages for anybody who wants to use them
  
*   home arts: simple fixes and recycled objects around the home

*   artist information or other current artists or crafters' information

Life is too short to keep our talents buried where nobody can enjoy them.

And so that is why I am here,
because of paint.

I am trying to use what God has given me,
hoping it will be a journey of learning.
