Art Treasures
by Linda Patarello
Children are treasures in God's Kingdom. God cherishes life not death. Children are meant to thrive and be free to discover their gifts and the reason they were put on this earth. We should do everything in our power to protect and nurture our children. They were meant to be loved, to play and to laugh, to learn and to grow unafraid, keeping the wonder of youth. Here are my original paintings of children, which are dear to my heart. My aim is to show that even young children can worship and love God. And when someone looks at one of my paintings, I want them to see love, feel God and the warmth of His presence. I hope you will enjoy these. I plan to keep painting and add more.

Thankful for this day
Thankful for this day in the summer breeze of the ocean sea. The feel of the sand between my toes, and the sound of waves breathing in and out while the seagulls sing their songs of freedom.

Boy meets Butterfly
The innocence and wonder of a child. We are taught to fear, but our Creator never wants us to be afraid. He loves it when we take a risk and explore new adventures.

Dance with Me
An African American little girl worshipping the
Lord in her favorite way, the dance. As we close our eyes and sink our eyes into our imagination, the Holy Spirit can take us into His Holy presence. A place where nothing else matters but Jesus.

Thank you for this new day God! I'm small but I know you see me. Teach me today to shine and to obey you. I want to know you more...

Dancing in the Spirit
Another version with a little older African American girl, who is learning to flow in the Holy Spirit, as she dances in worship to the King. It becomes easy to get lost in His presence, as you are filled with His deep love and acceptance.

I Lift Up My Hands
A little girl who is seeking God and finds Him, as she enters into His presence. She lifts her hands in praise and steps into His light. I lift up my eyes to the hills, where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord!
