Kilee Rainer 💛 Psalm & Palette

I painted this about 2 years ago. One of my favorite hobbies that I need to do more of is painting faith inspired art pieces.✝️ This particular artwork of mine has a short story behind it. I love looking back at this photo but unfortunately this is all I have of this painting. My perfectionism at the time got the best of me and when I should have been done and accepted it how it is in this picture, I instead kept adding to it because somehow in my mind it still wasn’t good enough to me. My perfectionism led me to keep adding where none was needed and then worst of all get to the point where I couldn’t stand to look at it and threw it away. I have thrown so many paintings away over the years because of my perfectionist attitude towards my artwork that I now deeply regret discarding. I hope this post reminds you to be less hard on yourself or your work if you relate to this overly critical tendency. One day you might look back and seriously regret discarding or criticizing what you now wish you had. I still get stuck in perfectionism at times but definitely less than around the time of this particular painting and sometimes reminding myself of this art piece helps❤️

Remember in this state of the world, nothing and no one is perfect, only Jesus, only God. Lay your burdens down at His feet and accept His grace and rejoice that He is perfect and He is our redemption✝️ “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,” Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭ESV‬‬
