What if a fresh start is God’s invitation to create something beautiful — even in the unknown?
In my newest blog post, I reflect on how a blank canvas mirrors the grace we’re given daily: full of possibility, even when the brushstrokes feel shaky.
💛 A post for artists, dreamers, and anyone in a new season.

Grace Abounds: The Story Behind the Painting
“Grace Abounds” a watercolor painting by Amy Boardman is a quiet reflection of God’s mercy and light—capturing a simple brown vintage jug filled with soft hydrangeas, gently illuminated by sunlight through a window. Inspired by Romans 5:20, this watercolor still life reminds us that even in our imperfections, God pours His grace into us, overflowing with beauty, forgiveness, and hope. The wicker pumpkin in the background adds a rustic touch—symbolizing resilience and the strength that comes from a life surrendered to Christ. This piece is a visual prayer of redemption, light, and the quiet power of grace.
My Watercolor Was Selected for a National Exhibition
There’s more to being an artist than paint and brushes—there’s purpose, perseverance, and sometimes, a little fear and faith. In this post, I share the story behind Tides of Solitude, the watercolor piece that was juried into the 55th International Exhibition in New Orleans, and how this journey is helping me honor God, embrace rest, and reflect His peace through every brushstroke. —Artist, Amy Boardman
The Seed of Creation
From a young age, I was drawn to art, but over time, I realized that this passion was more than just a hobby—it was a gift from God. The seed of creativity He planted in my heart grew into a calling, one that I could not ignore. Through every brushstroke and every piece I create, I feel a divine purpose: not just to express myself, but to connect with others, inspire, and share the beauty I see in the world. Art has become a way for me to reflect God's love and creativity, and I believe that each of us is given unique gifts to nurture and share with the world.
"Pear-fectly Aligned" – A Watercolor Reflection of Harmony and Joy
In "Pear-fectly Aligned", a watercolor painting inspired by the beauty of simplicity and balance, I wanted to create something that felt as peaceful as it looks. The single pear, painted with soft, flowing colors, is more than just a fruit—it's a reflection of the harmony and joy we all seek in life. Watercolor's fluidity mirrors how we can find balance, even in the most unexpected places.
Take a closer look (literally!) at this pear, and you'll see how each brushstroke comes together to create something perfectly aligned. It’s a reminder that even the smallest moments can bring us peace. Whether you're an art lover or just someone who’s looking for a bit of inspiration today, this watercolor is here to brighten your mood.

🎄✨ Spirit of Christmas, Unbroken: A Wreath of Traditions And Joy ✨🎄
This holiday season, I’m excited to share my newest watercolor painting, "Spirit of Christmas, Unbroken." Inspired by my very first real Christmas wreath — a thoughtful gift from our realtor — this painting celebrates the enduring spirit of the holidays. The wreath symbolizes eternal love, renewal, and the unbroken bond we share through traditions and faith. As we gather with family and friends, I’m reminded of the true meaning of Christmas: the birth of Jesus Christ, and the unending love He brings into our lives. I hope this painting, and the story behind it, brings warmth and joy to your holiday season. 🎄✨
