James 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Yes, I want to be a friend of God!
Excellent! Bravo...this desire is a gift.
May I suggest something with respect, to do first?
Read Jeremiah 9:23 area...off the top of my head paraphrased maybe... Let the rich man not boast of his riches and let the strong man not boast of his strength;
and let the wise man not glory in (boast) of his wisdom, BUT, he that DOES boast...
Leythim boast of t-h-i-s....that he knows and understands me, so saith the Lord.
-Acknowledge hHm in all your ways.
-Delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
Worked for me....
To be His friend, to acknowledge Him, to delight in Him...you must know Him,
understand His Sacred Heart and Divine Mind.
And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

You just let me know when you are ready to shake hands. Being a fellow artist I would love to share my work with you.
And I would love to learn your techniques in painting. I have project coming up. And I would love to have advice and perspective in respect of what tree I should paint.
You see when I was young and experimenting with numbered pencils the cedar was a favorite of mine. For all the contrast and richness of composition. The shape and form also with the low branches.
Then again you and I may talk too long about trees.
I was thinking more about lighting. Maybe a sunset full of color with complimenting hues throughout the mural.

I have concepts but I am not an artist. Mona Lisa has her back to you and she is not looking at you, she is looking behind her, she is staring at the Olive tree Da Vinci painted in the garden. A lone Olive tree contained in an ,''L'' shaped rock fence. There is a great wall where a huge grape vine is climbing over the wall.
On one side is an Olive tree and in the other hand is a great vine.
It represent an evil, malevolent, sadistic godling.
And a terrified dupe willing to do its bidding.
Really "great."
Sarai and Abraham were real gems. I figure Abraham was angry, and resentful over his banishment of Hagar and Ishmael. The whole, I almost killed our son was pinned on God.
The old, God told me to do it is all over the Bible. Men not taking responsibility. The Bible should really be named, the Book of Excuses.
