"Full of Grace and Carrot Sticks"
Sense of Humor
"Hang loose!" The impression came that I needed to do something with a little humor in it. So, I began to think of the delightful Giraffes at the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida.
They are so comical. Perfectly, they have come to know us. They know if they stick out their fifty foot tongue (ha,ha) we will stuff their mouth with cookies (special made) and carrot sticks.
When the giraffe kept turning up in some of my paintings last year, I began a search to understand what it might stand for. Eventually, someone told me that the giraffe stands for "grace."
This funky giraffe looks well feed.....satiated with carrot sticks. With his understanding and great intelligence, I think he knows he is full of grace, as well. The scriptures tell us the animals worship God, yes, even the rocks worship Him. My imagination moved me forward with a little sense of humor.
Thus, the name: "Full of Grace and Carrot Sticks" by me.
