Mercy Me | Art Painting And Poetry

Mercy Me
Acrylic paint on canvas
by nathanjtaylor
The art process in pics:
first layers establishing color and light source
sketching out with paint the idea and form of image
adding more color and giving form to the subject

Mercy Me
Everybody makes mistakes.
I say that to myself,
to remind me to forgive
myself and others.
I have a mentality to always seek
excellence in everything I do,
which makes life hard
when I fall down.
However, we can learn with each tumble,
and there is a blessing in the lesson.
Glory comes when we stand up
After we fall and walk again.

Very cool art and you remind me to forgive.
I enjoyed reading your poem, I am also starting to post under the poetry tag. Check out my work and if you like it I would appreciate your follow. More than likely I will follow you back, as I am trying to keep up with all steemit poetry writers. @beginningtoend
I'm amazed by how the picture transformed from turquoise-purple into the radiance of the finished picture :-) And beautiful poem, the theme is very much alive in me! I'm very interested in, when this realisation comes to us - I mean, the point of forgiving is hard to argue against - but when do we start doing it, is there a turning point?
