Gorgeous color and texture.
Makes me want to join in the fun.

I was touched by your explanation of "Sacred Imperfections" and finding the beauty in our own imperfections. It reminded me so much of the journey that I have been on recently. I just completed a painting of butterflies, with nothing inspirational in thought as I started it, other than the fact that butterflies are so beautiful. As I neared completion, I was wondering what to call it and began to see spiritual symbolism in it, that I had not really planned at all. It just sort of evolved into what it became. I had so much trouble trying to figure out a background that would set off the butterflies, since they were all different colors, and many had a black design in them, but, black seemed the only background that finally worked. Yet, I used all sorts of colors in the background, and ended up painting purple on top of all the colors. It ended up looking black. The blackness reminded me of the darkness in life. And yet the butterflies represent to me, all the people from different parts of the world, different races, cultures that have found new life and forgiveness of their pasts, through faith in Jesus Christ. It is Jesus that said we must be "Born Again" in order to see the kingdom of God. NO matter what our past has been, we can find a new start and beginning, fresh and new, when we ask God's forgiveness. No matter who we are, what our race is, or where we came from, we all become beautiful and unique and welcome into the glorious family of God, each beautiful in our own unique way. There are no two people exactly alike, and it is in our differences that we can celebrate the unique beauty of our "imperfections", made perfect through the grace and mercy of Jesus.

Silver, at last I went to your site, which is impressive. To me it shows a lot of work behind it. Your portraits have always touched me, as I've told you. What talent overall!

i don't know if this will make thru to you, but i think your work is pretty awesome. i don't know if you remember a quilt you made when you first started quilting,but i do,it was a spanish guitar set against a window sill. there was a beautiful hillside in the background, tiny squares echoing the meriad changes of the color of nature. that quilt made me want to learn to quilt.

Fabulous site, Silver! I love the color and sense of movement in your art. I am so pleased to see that you have made sales--I'm sure there will be many more to come. I think you told me about ArtId at Robbers Cave--I see why you like the site. My very best wishes for phenomenal success. The world needs the beauty that you create. Congrats to the highest degree!

Silver, what an awesome gallery! I love all the faces, I think Camille and Briana are my first favorites, but love them all. The abstracts are wonderful! Your sense of color, style and balance is perfect. Thank you for sharing, and this is on my favorites list of course, and I will pass this web site on to many friends and customers.

Silver - This is Drew's friend and daughter. We both enjoyed your Abstract work and had fun deciding what we saw in each painting. Your Quilts are Beautiful. :0)

I love the style you've developed since I was a child. It's a lot different than the abstracts I remember such as the one that's kind of outer space. What you're doing now seems to represent more of your personality that I know. Wonderful work.

As always, the quilts are my favorite :)

Silver, I love you work!
The faces are my favorites and Deep Mystery is really wonderful! The sight is awsome. I think you will do great with it. M

Very nice! We need you to paint the ceiling in the sanctuary to give it some snap!

Silver Belle, love the site. Love your new work, especially the face pictures. But, all of it is very intriguing, your abstracts are very creative and interesting. Girl, you are moving up in the art world. Keep up the good work.

My favorite = Winds of Chaos

Beautiful work Silver. I look forward to seeing your cloth art when you get it up. Lee
