I thought I would share a few of my favorite photos of early spring here in Michigan. I'm starting with my all time <a href="http://www.viralnova.com/concrete-diy-projects/">favorite</a> of where I go to catch a sunset over Lake Michigan. I've been here near the lake for four years now and I still have to pinch myself that I'm lucky enough to live this close to this <a href="http://hative.com/cool-diy-concrete-project-ideas/">beautiful</a> lake.</div>

I had the privilege of <a href="http://www.viralnova.com/concrete-diy-projects/">being asked </a>to<a href="http://margaretfeinberg.com/what-does-it-look-like-to-be-a-churchs-artist-in-esidence-an-interview-with-scott-erickson/"> paint several paintings</a> for a new addition that was built and finished last year at <a href="http://www.firstgrandville.org/">First Reformed Church </a>of Grandville, MI. This new addition is primarily used by the the youth of our church and the community. The walls were blank so my job was to create and paint a few art pieces to pull it all together.<br />
<br />
I considered it an honor that I was asked to do this. My husband and I have been members there for about 25 years now. We've raised 2 children with the help of this church. The church will always have memories of <a href="http://www.hope.edu/offices/campus-ministries/worship/">spiritual growth</a> for us, as well as being blessed with a community of great friends. So what better way to give back than to give my time especially doing what I love.<br />
<br />
My <a href="http://worship.calvin.edu/">largest painting</a> was this set of three. <a href="http://betoniu.com/blog/weihnachten-mit-beton/">Each panel</a> is 48" x 60". What a great message for kids to learn to live by as they grow and mature into adulthood.<br />

There are two more I completed. Although a bit more simple I think the message is good. "Pray" and "Listen". I've too often have heard people when asked if they pray are quick to say, "I pray." That's great, but do they listen? I've realized some people forget to listen. Do you listen for the answer?</div>

I really do enjoy making <a href="http://hative.com/cool-diy-concrete-project-ideas/">concrete bowls</a>. I'll go so far to say they're my favorite to make. I think this is because there are so many uses for bowls. You can display just a single one or several of them together, you can drop in a favorite plant or flower, put in a candle, fill one with your favorite treasures, insert a glass bowl and use as a punch bowl for parties, set out several on your patio for a bit of mood lighting, or use as a bird bath. Really the <a href="http://www.topinspired.com/top-10-diy-projects-with-concrete/2/">ideas are almost endless</a>.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought I would post <a href="http://www.viralnova.com/concrete-diy-projects/">my favorites</a> I have made over the last ten years. I'll start with a few of my all time favorite then the bowls after that will be in random order.</div>

If you have a favorite and want to order one there is one thing you do have to be aware of. I do not make molds for any of these bowls, so I can try to replicate one but it won't be identical. I prefer it this way because each of <a href="http://houzz.com/ideabooks/58189882">my customers</a> always <a href="https://www.restorationhardware.com/">receive an original</a>! You will never have one like anyone else.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: left;">I'll be taking orders beginning <b>April 1, 2016</b>, so please contact me if you are interested purchasing one or more of these. I've placed a number for ordering on the right bottom side of each bowl/photo.</span></div>

People often ask me if I have a hard time selling<a href="http://betoniu.com/blog/weihnachten-mit-beton/"> my art</a>! Not at all! I'm so honored they would want to own one of mine. I have a different attachment to some pieces than others, but each <a href="http://hative.com/cool-diy-concrete-project-ideas/">art piece </a>speaks to me in a special way. I hope this will be true for anyone who purchases a painting of mine.<br />

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Why is it we hear the bad
more loudly than the good? What is it that makes someone say the negative
before saying something positive? Why don't we remember that our cup is
half full, not half empty?<i> </i>We
can be so caught up in what we don't have instead of what we do have, or what's
fair, or who did more, etc. Why can't we just appreciate each other and live
together in harmony. Ok, I'm venting, but between all I hear going in the
world, both far away and right here close to me, I'm thinking the solution is
simple. Think before you speak, choose your words wisely and love each other
for who they are. There is just as much good going on. We just forget to see it
sometimes. This past weekend the sun finally shown for the whole day! As I
ventured outside<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://betoniu.com/blog/weihnachten-mit-beton/"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">with my camera</span></a></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">, </span></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">it reminded me of all the good still out there as I viewed the
"beauty of the earth" through my lenses.</span></div>

I treat my counters like one of my abstract paintings. When I pour them I intentionally place <a href="http://www.viralnova.com/concrete-diy-projects/">concrete</a> where I want colors and textures to happen. The reason I enjoy creating these is the unexpected outcome. Although I pour with intention, concrete had a mind of it's own so it's always a surprise once I take it out of the mold. My counters have a organic urban flavor with a smooth surface.</span></span><br />

And I love to paint in abstract conveying a message or a <a href="http://betoniu.com/blog/weihnachten-mit-beton/">simple insight</a>. I love this quote I've used before. This time however I'm changing it up just a bit to sum up my thought process behind each painting a little more clearly.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: serif;">"My paintings are a metaphor or simile drawn from nature or common life, surprising the viewer by its vividness or strangeness, and leaving the mind in sufficient doubt about its precise meaning in order to tease your mind into active thought."</span></i><br />
<br />
Here a few of my favorites paintings that are available for purchase.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"Suburbia" 48" x 48"</b></div>
A early morning view, and it's a simple one. This happens when your green lawn meets the morning blue sky as the sprinklers are on. Such sparkle!<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"Natures Work 36" x 24"</b></div>
This was painting with envisioning myself deep in the forest at sunrise with the treat of fire close by. Scary for sure, but I do believe when a fire is set by a storm it's nature's way of cleansing the earth and promoting new fresh growth. Is there a message for us there?<br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"Taking the Plunge" 48" x 48"</b></div>
A simple explanation here. I love the water! It's powerful. Something about the big waves of the lake that just want me to jump in a ride the waves. I can almost hear them when looking at this painting.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"Kaleidoscope"</b> <b>48" x 48"</b></div>
Have you ever looked around on a dewy sunny morning as the sun was coming up? The <a href="http://www.topinspired.com/">reflections</a> from all of nature's colors melt into each other. A ever changing and beautiful design for sure.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"Intentional Prayer - Learning to Listen" 42" x 24"</b></div>
This is such a simple concept that we forget to do. Praying and listening should be a constant moving thought that we should be practicing every day. Most of us pray but often we forget to listen. This painting is be a good reminder to do just that.<br />

The wind was calm so I was hoping the lake would be calm as well so I decided to head to there <a href="http://www.viralnova.com/concrete-diy-projects/">with my camera</a>. I was right, the lake was quiet and the sand had very few footprints. I love it when I find it this way. I can pretend the beach is mine. <br />
<br />
I love the muted tones of the water and sand when the weather is like this. It makes both <a href="http://www.topinspired.com/top-10-diy-projects-with-concrete/">colors</a> <a href="http://hative.com/cool-diy-concrete-project-ideas/">blend together</a>. Look at this first photo. The lines in the sand and the the small wave have a beautiful balance.<br />

Soft and serene. The peacefulness of just standing there was amazing. A word a friend of mine used for this photo was "worship". He was right on. I definitely feel God's presence at this lake.<br />

Some would think it would be lonely to be at the beach when you're the only one there, but the quiet of the beach is so <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2013/02/the-2013-sony-world-photography-awards/100454/">inspirational to me</a>. It took only<a href="http://betoniu.com/blog/weihnachten-mit-beton/"> thirty minutes to feel relaxed</a> and refreshed.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the holidays everyone! Take a few moments or thirty minutes out of your busyness once in awhile to reflect on the season of Christ's birth. Enjoy the blessings given to you!<br />

This is what happens after my sister Catharine and I spend every
day for a week working on a 18.5' x 10' mural - tired, thrilled and crazy!
Little did I know there was a door in this wall until after we had it finished.
It's very lucky we didn't fall out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
So why was the decision made to paint this mural at the bottom of
this trail head? Because my sister thought it would not only make this
spot more beautiful, but she thought many who use the trail would love it as
they began their trek up this mountain.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
We began this design several weeks before I flew out to paint. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:catharine@cavarchitects.com">Catharine</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>cleaned, prepped, painted a base
color, and built a scaffold so we wouldn't have to work from ladders. We
traded ideas,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.viralnova.com/concrete-diy-projects/">sketched</a>, and had a
colored drawing of what we wanted on this wall before I arrived.<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

So many memories of doing this together!
Painting with my sister, getting to know the neighbors, neighbors bring
us treats, hearing the positive encouraging comments from those using the
trail head, yummy food, happy hours, and yes, even two visits to the ocean!<o:p></o:p></div>

mountain for sure. Can you imagine how even more beautiful it will be
when they get some rain and the surrounding greens up. I sure hope the

On a side note: I knew my sister
would not be able to help herself after I left. I told her not to touch
it, but she did. She had to add a dog! I sat on pins and needles
waiting to see how she incorporated it, but I have to say it turned out great!
We did get several comments asking where the dog was, since a great
percentage of people had dogs with them hiking. I would answer,
"they're there, just look behind the hill." Obviously they were
not satisfied, so it was a good decision to have the addition of a dog.<o:p></o:p></div>

The holidays and my artist reception will be coming up so I'm building up stock in all three of my medium, <a href="http://www.houzz.com/pro/amyjg/amy-j-greving-art-studio-llc">concrete art, painting and photography</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkeo_XT_gDtN-lu6leVsTzeOv03KLfxUg9OwrRfZXcZsq5DT6eGr8cXeElIA1dKJ5g0OCxs1Xte_2C0cRcpC9MCoXxfOMMgH6MDpz8NxuG7qYuo4F7wJXV3-QpCXLzQM4Rou2pP-DLHjY/s1600/profile+bowls+p.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkeo_XT_gDtN-lu6leVsTzeOv03KLfxUg9OwrRfZXcZsq5DT6eGr8cXeElIA1dKJ5g0OCxs1Xte_2C0cRcpC9MCoXxfOMMgH6MDpz8NxuG7qYuo4F7wJXV3-QpCXLzQM4Rou2pP-DLHjY/s200/profile+bowls+p.jpg" width="200" /></a>Today <a href="http://hative.com/cool-diy-concrete-project-ideas/">its about concrete</a>. Concrete has it's own mind. I can do my best laying out my plan, making the mold, and pouring it, but concrete is unpredictable and that is what makes working with it the most exciting. When I take it out of the mold it's so fun to see how the color and textures appear.<br />
<br />
These bowls featured today are my all time favorite. They're round and smooth, Each discrepancy in color and texture lends artistic character to them.<br />

Look at the difference, one without a candle and the other with a candle. Just as beautiful but it gives the inside a whole different color. Wouldn't these look great setting on a coffee table. I'll have them available in different sizes.<br />

This little <a href="http://hative.com/cool-diy-concrete-project-ideas/">chunky concrete</a> "Star of Hope" deserves it's own post. I <a href="http://www.houzz.com/pro/amyjg/amy-j-greving-art-studio-llc">made these</a> a few years ago for the holiday season. Little did I know that these would become popular all year around. This idea came about after I gave my first star to my best customer who is now a friend that was struggling though a serious illness. I have since given several away to others as well who have either suffered from a loss or have been personally struggling. I have found that these are the perfect sized gift when you really have no words of your own to help them through their tough time. I now have many customers who purchase several at a time to keep them in stock for that perfect time to lift someones spirits</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope that when they light this little votive they feel not only a sense of HOPE but would also know someone is praying and thinking about them. Each votive comes with a label that says:</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Star of Hope</b></div>

On a Saturday a
few weeks ago I started my day with a long run. When I do my long runs in the
mornings it effects the rest of my day. So I did a few things around the
house, but took several breaks in between. On one of my breaks I decided
to take<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.michigan.org/">a garden walk</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>with my camera. A ton of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/bugs/monarch-butterfly/">Monarch butterflies</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>were going crazy over my two<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/h/hyssop48.html">Hyssop plants</a>.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I decided to take a moment to watch the
butterflies, hoping for a unique photo opportunity. Well, I sure did find one. <span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When I first saw
this, I thought I really need to save this butterfly from this Praying Mantis!
As I looked more carefully it was still alive, but knew it was to late for
that. At that point it became something amazing at how this Praying Mantis was taking
in the butterfly for his next meal. Here is a photo sequence of this
moment. The Praying Mantis and the Monarch butterfly are both beautiful,
so it was both sad and amazing.<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

It was a warm, sunny and windy day yesterday. I fully
intended to go to the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.michigan.org/">lake</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>for
the sunset thinking it could be spectacular with high waves and sunny skies,
but as I got busy working on<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.viralnova.com/concrete-diy-projects/">my art studio project</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>the clouds came. I thought to
myself, "I am a bit tired anyways, so I'll just go in for the night. There
is always the next sunset." I went in the house and took one last
look out the window and noticed a light glow of pink in the west. I
decided to walk out to the end of our drive and turn to look west toward the
lake. There was a even stronger<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://hative.com/cool-diy-concrete-project-ideas/">line of pink and
orange</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span> near the horizon!
With only a little more than ten minutes before sunset I decided to go! I
grabbed my camera and raced down.<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
I got there and this guy was drying off near his truck. I said hello and he responded, "You missed it! The waves were way bigger earlier." I said, "But the sun is amazing!" With that I ran down to the water. Here are several shots of ten minutes of one sunset.<br />

Here are two more after the sunset. I always tell others you need to stay just a while longer after the sun sets because that is when the sky turns to the most awesome color. That sure happened last night!<br />

This time is almost like a devotional for me. I search for the <a href="http://www.michigan.org/blog/">tiny spots of creation</a> that amaze me. It's quiet and a time to reflect on God's beauty. I thought I would share a few of <a href="http://www.viralnova.com/concrete-diy-projects/">those photographs</a> with you today.<br />

I love it when I receive a custom order! It's fun for me to
not only know that someone would love a piece of my art, but they also want me
to design it to<a href="http://www.houzz.com/pro/amyjg/amy-j-greving-art-studio-llc"><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>fit them and their space</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Sometimes I know the person already, so I usually know their
design and color style. This makes it easy for me. When I have a
new customer, I need to ask questions, but more importantly I need to listen.
It usually doesn't take to long after a conversation or two of listening
that I can get a feel for what they want.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Last week I got a request for<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.viralnova.com/concrete-diy-projects/">concrete bird baths</a>.
Honestly, I love bird baths but they usually are not my favorite to
make...until I made these. The person requested three of them for a hill
and they needed to be low maintenance. Now, I know this person loves nature.
She spends a lot of time in it, exploring and capturing it. This made it fun
for me to design because I also love exploring nature continuously trying to
capture its beauty.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
This is what I came up with.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://hative.com/cool-diy-concrete-project-ideas/">Three concrete bird
baths</a><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>with three different
shades of concrete. I added stones and texture for reasons you'll read with
some more photos below.<o:p></o:p></div>

What is your focus? <b>What do you focus on?</b> That can mean two things. Do you <i>focus on yourself or focus on others</i>? Your circumstances or your mood can determine your focus. That word "focus" can mean so much when you really think about it.<br />
<br />
Focus is also important in photography. I'm always learning something new when taking out my camera looking for <a href="http://www.viralnova.com/concrete-diy-projects/">my next photo</a>. The other day with my camera set on manual I spotted this interesting plant. As I positioned my camera looking directly down the stem of the plant, I moved my lens focusing first from the bottom then clicking as I moved up to the top of the plant. Here is what I captured.<br />

Here is another set. I <a href="http://hative.com/cool-diy-concrete-project-ideas/">came upon this </a>plant as I was shooting some Queen Anne's Lace. I have no idea what this it is, but found the seed heads beautiful as <a href="http://www.eighteenkarat.com/">I focused on each of them while moving my lens</a>.<br />

New Art Along With a Few Favorites.Here is my newest <a href="http://hative.com/cool-diy-concrete-project-ideas/">concrete piece</a>. I've struggled with making interesting bird baths. Although I love watching birds splashing around as they take their bath, I find that most of them are a bit boring looking. This one that I designed has a <a href="http://www.houzz.com/pro/amyjg/amy-j-greving-art-studio-llc">contemporary flavor</a> that works well in most gardens. It has a smooth bowl to hold the water with just the right amount of reflective glass to attract your favorite birds!<br />
