Wow. It's been a very long time since I posted anything here. A lot has changed in my life. I'm painting on a regular basis, selling my work, sharing a studio with my husband and...<br />
<br />
Last week, I published my novel. “Bee Singer Queen”, which is the first book in my fantasy series, “Tales of Ellmoria”.<br />
<br />
Long ago in a tiny forest village, one woman was given a gift. She was shown how to hear and sing with the ancient song of a giant hive of bees. The mud of the hive grew soft and warm as she sang, and the bees freely surrendered the honey within. She fed it to the starving and the sick, and they instantly recovered.<br />
<br />
Every full moon for generations, the women of Veroven's chiefs harvested the life-giving honey. They became known as Bee Singers and the chiefs' daughters fetched large dowry prices for their fathers.<br />
<br />
In a land and time where women were bought and sold like cattle, 16-year-old Coleesta was bartered to a greasy little man twice her own father's age. Seeking for a way out, she found only lies and betrayal.<br />
<br />
But she would be the victim no longer. She would arise to be the Bee Singer Queen.<br />
<br />
“Bee Singer Queen” is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle versions. You can find it by typing in my name (Teresa Arsenault), the book title, or by following this link to Amazon.ca: <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/BEE-SINGER-QUEEN-Teresa-Arsenault/dp/B084QLMQC9/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Teresa+Arsenault&qid=1582330557&sr=8-1">https://www.amazon.ca/BEE-SINGER-QUEEN-Teresa-Arsenault/dp/B084QLMQC9/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Teresa+Arsenault&qid=1582330557&sr=8-1</a><br />

Louis Armstrong was born to a 16-year-old mother, abandoned by his father and raised by his grandmother until he was 5 years old. Growing up in the early 20th century, he faced poverty, violence and discrimination. Yet, he chose joy. Look at that face. What a wonderful face. What a wonderful attitude. When this song was first recorded, there were difficulties (An ABC Records president tried to stop it. Train whistles interrupted it twice.) so the work stretched from 2-6 a.m., after Louis' midnight show. Yet Louis laughed off the interruptions and chose to receive a lesser than average rate so the orchestra could be paid for their overtime work. He chose joy.<br />
<br />
I wrote this poem recently and would like to share it with you.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
I made this little anniversary book for dear friends who are celebrating 12 years of marriage this month. My friend, Angela Hoynes (Crafting with Jack), inspired the design. You can find her tutorial <a href="http://craftingwithjack.blogspot.com/2018/05/book-tutorial.html">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
I used mixed media painted, stamped and textured cardstock for the cover.<br />

I used many digital verses and images for this project. It would be too time-consuming to name them all. I hope the artists will excuse me for not giving each one a mention.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
My family has been going through hard times for a while now, but we have gotten lots of prayer support. The other evening a group of friends were at our home, praying for us. Some of them recommended reading and meditating on (thinking about) Psalm 91 and Isaiah 61. My meditation brought forth this art journal layout.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Psalm 91 came from an old family bible that a friend picked up at a thrift store. She gave it to me to use in my art journaling. This was the first time I was actually able to tear a page from it. It was hard for me, but I told myself it was better for pages from it to be given new life, than for the whole thing to collect mold and dust, and eventually fall apart. Still, it was hard. I aged the page further by crinkly and dabbing into rust-colored ink. I added some sparkle from my fingers, after dipping them in watery gold acrylic paint.<br />

For my non-realistic watering can with flowers, I used Gelatos and acrylic paints. The words are taken from Isaiah 61. The background of both pages was made with acrylic paints, stamps & stencils.<br />

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have people to pray you through hard times. If not, why not reach out to your local church to let them know you could use a little support. If there is a Grace Healing Rooms ministry in your area, I highly recommend them for physical or emotional healing needs. They are non-denominational and welcome non-believers, as well as Christians.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
Last night my family and friends threw me a surprise birthday party for my 60th. It really was a surprise because my birthday is not until Friday.<br />
<br />
My family gave me a wood-burning tool. It has variable temperatures so I can use it in my encaustic painting. Plus, it has lots of cool tips. They even bought me two extra packs of tips - alphabet and numbers/symbols.<br />
<br />
This is the first painting I did, using three of the tips that came with the tool. I did it on hardboard. It is an intuitive painting that I call "Oaks of Righteousness".<br />

When I went in to add some details, I noticed a partial face in the clouds. I enhanced it a bit, but not so much that it looked super-imposed upon the sky.<br />

A song from my youth seemed to fit the painting so I added it to the page.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
Here is a mixed media tag I made recently with recycled materials - boxboard, an old pin and an earring. I stamped the dove on a background made with Brushos and shimmer spray, and then cut it out.<br />

I call these pieces "Chookie's Artspirations" and sell them as wee bits of art to encourage or inspire. Chookie is what my Scottish cousin calls me.<br />

Dear Friends,<br />
<br />
One assurance in Life is that we will have problems. Sometimes those troubles threaten to overcome us. It is in times like those that I am most grateful to have a loving God in whom I can trust. He brings me peace - sometimes moment by moment - when that treasure is most elusive. In the midst of turmoil, he lifts me with hope that stretches far passed my circumstances. Even in sorrow, he sustains me with joy that plunges deep roots into my soul.<br />
<br />
The other day I wrote a poem about this and put it into my art journal. I added a backpack and "Lay your burdens down" at the bottom of the page.<br />

If you are unfamiliar with the prophetic, perhaps I can demystify it for you.<br />
<br />
Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice." (John 10:27) Any Christian can hear God's voice for herself. Any Christian can hear God's voice for other individuals. Sometimes a Christian can hear God's voice for a people group. The Christians we refer to as prophets hear God's voice for individuals and people groups on a regular basis. It is their main function in the Body of Christ. The article my friend sent me is from someone who is recognized by others as a prophet.<br />

Unfortunately, many Christians do not recognize God's voice so they think he does not speak to them. That is because they are expecting to hear an audible voice and that is not usually how God speaks to us. He has a different way of speaking and even a 'language' that is unique to you.<br />
<br />
Are you fascinated with skies, flowers, birds or animals? Listen with your heart, not your ears. What is God saying to you as you tend that beloved rose or groom your horse? Can you hear his whispers of love breaking through?<br />
<br />
Do you love to buy or create gifts (or food) to give to loved ones? How is he creating with you? Is he telling you that he delights to give good gifts to you, just as you love to bless others with gifts?<br />

What if you are not a Christian? What if you don't even believe in God? Will he still speak to you? YES. The person who seeks him with her whole heart, even if doubting but really wanting to know the truth, will find him. (Jeremiah 29:13) Guaranteed.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
One of the things I enjoy doing is recycling boxboard into art. Another thing I love doing is giving away these little art pieces to strangers as random acts of kindness. Both of these pieces have met that lovely fate.<br />
<br />
I created these in April of 2017. This first one has some elements of collage, which I snipped from a magazine.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For my next piece, I got a jump-start with a Jane Davenport face stencil. I thinned out my flesh tone to reveal the splashes of colour beneath. Then I added a fabric flower to her hair. I waited for someone very special to come along to my demo table in order to give this one away.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
I did this watercolor painting with collage in April of 2017 for a dear friend who had lost her father. He used to sing to her, "I love you, a bushel and a peck, a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck."<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
What is encaustic, you may ask, and rightly so. Though the art of painting with wax is millennia old, not many people nowadays have heard of it.<br />
<br />
This bookmark encaustic piece was created in response to a challenge to make something black and white. After a few coats of white gesso, I added white and black encaustic paint with my encaustic (low temp) iron. Then I brushed on a few coats of encaustic medium before starting to add my collage elements: a Tickell Expressions sentiment, two white feathers and some metallic flakes. encaustic must be fused (heat gun) one layer at a time, cooling between. I finished the piece off with some fancy yarn and handmade beads. I pre-made them from pages of a well-worn New Testament bible. One of these days I will get a better setup for taking pictures. The metallic flakes do not show up at all.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
I have taken a few watercolor lessons over the last few months. While I really appreciate all the You Tube tutorials available and online courses, they can't be compared to the value of having a talented teacher right there to help you get passed your mistakes and learn the basics.<br />
<br />
One of our class exercises was to divide up our papers and paint nine different kinds of trees. I thought the little trees would make nice cards. I used this one on a scripture encouragement card.<br />

Hello friends,<br />
<br />
Last Saturday I was given the extreme privilege of painting on stage with the worship team, during the worship part of our church's first monthly ladies' meeting. I prayed over and prepared my canvas ahead of time, but I didn't know what I was going to paint. Here is the completed painting in acrylics. I call it, "The God Who Sees Me".<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUI2buu4tgjm_67mXHVCYCUfHBIHqAGZJpESag-cjrrZiSStad0Mua5kle2Ka3sH9TVMlFtta7uw3vSGCte7kiJabmg3zYlXychhBWhWX8_WjB11Ee-JXmed9t3TrpYkjZD2Hvm-_Ajnc/s1600/TheTable-Feb2018_1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1292" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUI2buu4tgjm_67mXHVCYCUfHBIHqAGZJpESag-cjrrZiSStad0Mua5kle2Ka3sH9TVMlFtta7uw3vSGCte7kiJabmg3zYlXychhBWhWX8_WjB11Ee-JXmed9t3TrpYkjZD2Hvm-_Ajnc/s400/TheTable-Feb2018_1.JPG" width="322" /></a></div>
The initial background, around the edges of the canvas only, suggested a forest, so I began putting in some fuzzy trees and defining one on the left. My mind's eye had seen a yellow/white orb when I was first asked to paint for the meeting, so I put a yellow/white circle in the center near the top. Some random brush strokes suggested the woman at the base of the tree.<br />

I left the woman faceless. Her skin and hair are mid-tones. She can represent any woman. I did not paint clothes, but neither did I want a graphically naked body. I wanted only the suggestion of nakedness as in vulnerability, transparency and authenticity. We come to Christ real and sometimes raw, and he lovingly receives us. The woman is pregnant because God has impregnated his church with wonderful plans and purposes.<br />

I added three bleeding knotholes in the tree the following day (Sunday) to represent the nail wounds of Christ.<br />

When the painting was finished, I discovered this wonderful surprise - the image of a mother holding an infant as she gazes lovingly into its face. These were random brush strokes, so discovering this image was like a kiss from heaven.<br />
<br />
I would love to hear how this painting speaks to you. Thank you for visiting my blog.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
You have waited a very long time to see a post from me here. Interesting that the art journal layout I am going to share with you is about waiting.<br />
<br />
I started a 30-day art challenge and today's prompt was to create something that depicts a promise God has given for your life.<br />
<br />
A friend recently asked me to test out some markers for her. I was not at all pleased with their performance and I was left with a pathetic looking face on my paper. But something about her drew me. She made me think about those promises in my life that I have waited many years to see fulfilled.<br />
<br />
Here is the finished piece:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The last thing I coloured on this page was the lady's dress, the lady who represents present day me. I felt strongly impressed to leave it white, but to add clear glitter. I added it to her hair as well. As I looked at the effect, and the peaceful expression on the woman's face, I had the sense that my waiting on God's promises, without giving up, has had a positive effect on me. It felt like a smile from God.<br />

Yesterday I painted a butterfly, along with a <a href="https://www.craftsy.com/art/article/watercolor-butterfly/?skipMod=1&cr_linkid=2018/01/14%2002:55%20-0500_feedblitz_all&cr_maid=95954&cr_medium=Internal%20Email&cr_source=Craftsy%20Engagement">Craftsy</a> blog tutorial. I thought it could represent a big promise being fulfilled. (The golden shimmer does not show up well in the photo) The little butterflies could be many other blessings raining down in my life. But after I had already posted this, Holy Spirit revealed that the butterflies also represent who I am becoming through waiting on God.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
This post is especially for my sisters in Christ.<br />
<br />
The one thing you can count on in life is change. With each life change, I have had to adapt and sometimes it takes me a while to discover how to connect with God on a daily basis. First thing in the morning has the most powerful impact for me, but it is also the most challenging time.<br />
<br />
I don’t sleep well usually so getting up early may mean I need to take a nap later on. Plus, as soon as my feet hit the floor, I have my multiple critters clambering to be let out, fed, watered and cleaned up after. During the course of doing that, many other chores present themselves and it would be easy to roll up my sleeves and dive in.<br />
<br />
Lately I have taken to getting up early, taking care of the critters while my tea steeps, and then having my time with the Lord while the house is still quiet. I take my cuppa (Red Rose) and just sit in silence, inviting the Lord to speak. (Listening prayer) By the time my tea is finished, I pick up my bible and read where I last left off. I might then write in my journal, do some simple art in my bible or listen to a worship song.<br />
<br />
I find this sets the course for my day and I am better able to hear the whisperings of Holy Spirit throughout my day. If I need to take a nap later on, and I am able to do so, that is what I do. It is hard to get up early most days, but the benefits are worth it to me.<br />
<br />
I often think about our mothers with young children or those women among us who have to rush off to a work place every day OR those heroic women who have to do both. How do you manage to align yourself with Holy Spirit at the start of your day?<br />
<br />
I am really hoping those who have discovered some way to connect with God at the beginning of your day will share your methods with the rest of us. No matter how simple, or even if you are in the process of figuring it out, you will probably encourage and help someone else. No matter what stage of life you are at, this is a struggle for all or most of us.<br />
<br />
Blessings on your day,<br />
Teresa<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
Does God ever speak to you through movies? Last night I watched a movie on Netflix called, "Coffee Shop". The main character was going through a stormy season of life and everything looked pretty hopeless. An older man gave her a note that said, "Don't get lost in the temporary." That really spoke to both my husband and me.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Sometimes when the wind is whipping your hair over your face and rain is pelting your eyes, it is impossible to see that there even is an end to the road you are on. That is when you have to believe that God has a hold of your hand and His vision is never obstructed.<br />
<br />
Last week I started an art journal page after watching a Mixed Media Monthly challenge from Lisa on PraiseHeart. The challenge was to use nature in your page. Lisa pounded flowers and leaves onto her pages with a hammer. My wild flowers were less vibrant and juicy than her garden variety blossoms, so the process was not very satisfying for me. Still, I think it illustrates what my life has been like lately. It takes a lot of pounding to get any colour out of me and it doesn't look very impressive for all the effort.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I threw down some crushed chalk pastels to perk up my background. Eventually I started to see the form of a bird so I penciled it lightly in before the colours dried and faded. (I forgot to take a pic of the background. Sorry)<br />
<br />
Today I finished off my pages with a black paint pen for the words and some white gouache on the bird. I included a quote from the movie.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
I started making small mixed media pieces a couple of years ago. I am now selling them in a friend's gallery gift shop. Each piece has several layers of collage, paint, ink, etc. As I work on each layer, I play worship music and pray for those who will receive them. <br />
<br />
Here is a piece I completed today. It is 3x4.5 inches. (Many more are in various stages of development.) <br />
<br />

After I let this sit for a while, I felt it was a bit lack-luster. I spritzed on some gold shimmer and added a thin layer of pouring medium. Then I felt it was really done. Can you see the difference?<br />

I am thinking about calling these small works of art "Little Treasures", but I would love to hear your suggestions, if you have any.<br />

Dear Friends,<br />
<br />
Have you ever grieved over the suffering of a loved one? Has that cherished one rejected any help from you or from God?<br />
<br />
I have been praying Isaiah 41:9-10 over a family situation the last few days. Speaking the words gave me courage and strength, but I wanted something visual to go with the scriptures and my prayers.<br />
<br />
So I drew a likeness of my loved one on that page in my bible. I painted it with water colours, adding tear tracks and red, swollen eyes. It is my heartfelt prayer, my plea for mercy and my declaration that God has chosen this dear one and will not throw him away.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
Yesterday I wrote a poem during a particularly sweet quiet time with my Lord Jesus. I made this water colour background and simple sketch in my art journal to go with it.<br />

Hello Friends,<br />
<br />
Happy Friday. I didn't think you
would want to wait all weekend to hear the conclusion of the Bee Singer
Queen, so I am posting it a few days early.<br />
<br />
I have
included a short epilogue (about 3 minutes), which hints at the contents of <u>Book Two</u><b>: Son
of Abeilhe</b>. I'm afraid you will have to wait a while for that because I
have not finished writing it yet.<br />
<br />
My goal this summer
is to revise and format The Bee Singer Queen for print and Kindle
editions. If you have enjoyed the audio version, I hope you will
consider giving a review on Amazon once it is listed. I will let you
know.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your interest in my book. I truly hope you have enjoyed listening as much as I have enjoyed reading it to you.<br />
<br />
Blessing hugs,<br />
Teresa<br />
