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.

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
