patrick and i spent several hours yesterday with george tanimoto, an awesome little japanese artist who has been through a lot of life and worked a lot in art. he showed us around inside the porterville art gallery (wich is closed on monday, but he wanted to give us a special tour) and walked us downtown to a mexican resteraunt to show us a mural his friend had painted. he ended up buying us lunch.

so, what had started as a somewhat pointless day or planned thrift store shopping, ended up being a blessed day full of sharing with fellow artists. i am inspired, encouraged and blessed. Jesus is amazing.

wow... yesterday was just one blessing right after another...
