Young Masai Warrior - 5

I think this is it until I get some feedback from the Watercolor Forum at wetcanvas.com.

I have to say that it was a wonderful day. (Thank you Phil!) I found myself praying for this young man, wondering what his life was like and blessed that our church may have some impact on him. I welcome all feedback so that I can get better at my art.

To God be the Glory!

New Year, New Art

I took a break from work between Christmas and New Years with the hope and prayer of having an all paint day. Unfortunately it was not to be. There were important life things that came that needed my attention first. So what did my loving husband do? He said "Next Saturday is your paint day." And just like that, today I have started a new project.

I received an amazing cd from Kim Shott with pictures from Tanzania. Not only is she a gifted and tender hearted nurse who has been to Tanzania a few times, she also has a lovely gift behind the lens of her camera. Thank you Kim for a wonderful selection!

Just like the painting of Matt, I am going to post progress pictures. I like to do this so that I can be reminded of the time, the prayers and the love that goes into each painting. It's kind of a personal thing but I hope you enjoy it at well.

A Work in Progress

Between scanning family photos, listening to Christmas music, here is my work in progress of Mission San Juan Capistrano from a picture I took last week while I was there.

Inspired by a photograph taken from the Hubbel telescope. Just looking at the expanse of space makes me feel so loved. God loves me, a smaller speck than the farthest star in the universe. That kind of love is so amazing. Thank you Lord
