This quote articulates so much about the creative process! #Repost @mcnivenjack with @get_repost ・・・ “ A moment of complete happiness never occurs in the creation of a work of art. The promise of it is felt in the act of creation but disappears towards the completion of the work. For it is then that the painter realises that it is only a picture he is painting. Until then he had almost dared to hope that the picture might spring to life “, Lucian Freud. Self portrait, oil and charcoal on canvas, 2002. Thrilled and inspired to see this stunning, unfinished, painting in the flesh today ! . . . . . . . #lucianfreud #selfportrait #painting #oil #charcoal #unfinishedpainting #portraiture #inspiration #royalacademy #royalacademyofarts #art #faces #texturalpainting #creation #masterpiece #creative #artist #studio #london

Advent often magnifies the brokenness of the world, the “now but not yet” of God’s restoration and my many ongoing failings, only to be contrasted with the fully redeeming, work of God. I’ve had many such moments already this month. God is gracious to send a redemptive moment not long after a broken one. He remembers us. This night of getting dressed up with a decorated house full of kind people was one beautiful redemptive moment!
