Happy New Year Everyone!
This is a new piece created this year, “After All She Can Do”, 24x36 inch, Paper and Acrylic on Board
It may seem like a no brainer to most people but this thought, that my happiness is entirely My choice, really struck me just a short time ago. This painting said to me, You were not meant to go through the trials of this life alone. Shrug off the burden of offense, drop anger and hatred from your load, let go of ancient history, old love, bad habits, betrayal, worldly trends and possessions. Its your choice. Make a fresh start. Don’t go it alone. Reach Out.
“Whatever changes in life’s circumstances may come your way, and whatever unexpected path we may have to travel, how we respond is a choice. Turning to the Savior and grasping his outstretched hand is always our best option.” W. Christopher Waddell

            24 x 24 inch mixed media collage on birch panel Copyright Robin Birrell 2015 - Do Not copy without permission This is my latest large work for entry into the 10th International Art Competition for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The theme is "Tell Me the Stories of Jesus".     John 6: 9-14 tells of a lad who selflessly contributed his five barley loaves and two fishes to be used by the Savior, who miraculously fed the five thousand gathered to hear the Gospel message. This painting depicts the lad's older sister who, in my imagination, climbed into the foothills near Galilee to find her brother amongst the crowd and deliver the food she had lovingly prepared for him.   For this piece, I used whatever I felt like using at the time. It is a combination of acrylic, ink, colored pencil and, of course, Paper!
