Commission 2/3

More progress. Listening to a great teaching by Rick Joyner about the prophetic. It's all about intimacy with the Lord & abiding in Him. That's where we see true beauty & eternal glory!

Anyone know what kind of flower this is? It looks kind of like a lily but the inside under the catapiller looks like a cone flower or daisy? Hmmm.

2 Hearts.

My art journal page for the first chapter of Captivating. On the left all the things that I have heard or said about myself that have left me wounded, heartbroken & the enemy has used to keep me in darkness. On the right, the promises of God. The Truth. And the reality I should see everyday. In the center, a woman running white as snow, sins forgiven, free continuing on toward her destiny.

Owl Painting

One of the finished paintings I did. Have a bunch others prepared but this is the only one that is done. Just a fun funky owl for my kid's room. I've been playing around with my Golden Acrylic paints, gels, and pastes.

New paintings.

Playing around with my paints and collaborating with Isaiah.

Portrait #2 - Dad

Today is my Dad's birthday. Happy Birthday Dad! Since this month I am focusing on portraits, I decided to do one of Dad. I am also amused by the side eye lately, and this portrait and the picture I worked from went well with that theme.

ATC Portrait #1 Betty White Side Eye

My first portrait of the month. It's supposed to be Betty White side eyes...but it doesn't really look like her...It looks more like the lady from Designing Women, and no I don't remember her name the character's name nor the actress's name.

It was kind of weird drawing in pencil after a month of still life drawings in pen. The drawing isn't bad, it just doesn't look like her to me. Still thinking about adding color.

Still Life #19

Picture for still Life #19. Pedometer

Still Life #32--Bonus Still Life!

Present Rubber Duckie...also a gift from Isaiah to Gracie for her birthday.
This has been an interesting challenge. I didn't do as well as I wanted to with the discipline of doing them everyday. But I did manage to get them all done. 32 still life drawings in a month is pretty good though.
This one is the bonus drawing, I wanted to have 31 drawings in this journal and since the first still life was done on a loose watercolor journal page...I did another one.
Next month I am going to do portraits. Probably ATC size...so that I can get them done...and it's not too daunting.

Still Life #31

Birthday cake rubber duckie. Isaiah got these for Gracie for her birthday. They are surprizingly hard to draw.
