My First!...

...Oval canvas.  I have always avoided ovals of any sort, and triangles for that matter. I'm a circle or a square person.  Wonder what that means? There must be some sort of personality test in regards to that out there somewhere. Do you like certain shapes over others or is it just me? Well I did some drawings in ovals (the bears) and ovals have been on my mind since.  I decided to get some canvas and give it a try.  I have to say I think I'm hooked!  I listed this one on Ebay and I have another in the works.

Blessings! Create a great day!

What Day Is It?...

... & Where am I? haha I was working so hard on this piece I lost track of what day it was and posted Ta Da Thursday on Friday! Oopsie embaraskins haha  I worked on this piece pretty much full-time for over a week. This is an emotional piece. The theme or message is how beautiful & sweet strength can be.  She has 2 facial expressions, one sweet & one strong.  Roses are sweet & they are strong too, surviving like weeds at my house. The deer enjoy them as much as we do. This piece will be on Ebay for a short time, click on the picture to take her home.

Failure...

... I can't do it... well, no I just didn't do it. I started this month with a strong determination to paint the Lord each day as a daily devotion that could also bless others but I failed. With all good intentions life just gets in the way. I have to give a shout out to those of you who participate in these daily paintings! I could blame it on a variety of things but when all is said and done, it didn't get done. I am not going to try not to beat myself up and if you were planning to paint the Lord along with me but haven't don't beat yourself up eihter. He loves us anyway.

In Loving Memory...

...Of my Uncle David Hanna who went to be with the Lord today.  There is no question in anyone's mind that he is in Heaven.  He was dearly loved by many & led many to the Lord.

 

For the month of March I am going to try and do a daily painting of Christ Jesus. If you would like to paint, sketch, sculpt, create a piece right along with me, please put your link here to your page so that we can see yours.  Even if you do only 1 piece we would all love to see it!

 

Mr. President...

 "George Washington"

 

No, it's not who you think it is!  I have a funky wood pile.  I pulled out a few pieces and painted some more of our Founding Fathers on it just for fun.  It was fun! Funky & funny!  I apologize for the bad photo.  I wonder if I captured any bits of their colorful personalities...

Happy President's Day!

"President Lincoln"

 

Daily Devotion

This is a little more pastel than I normally paint. I think my brain is getting a little more used to not painting on a black canvas but it is still hard.
