The vase is so large. The girl is short so the flower is out of reach. Many times in life we try and reach for things we don’t need. The result is we fall just a little short of those goals and feel sad about the result. The bottom line is we need to focus on what we have been given to us by God and so avoid disappointments. The drawing is done on an old 8×10 book page using pen and soft pastels.

There are times in life when our preferences do not line up with God’s purpose for our life. I have been through many of these times and am going through one now. Today’s piece of art is an homage to those times. The Girl in Purple is struggling with her faith and the preferences she has for her life. The small painting was created on an old 8×10 book page using pen and soft pastels.
In the course of my artist’s lifetime there are many times I create simple line drawings and then color them in for effect. These are two of those drawings. They are 8×10 drawings done in #2 pencil highlighted in pen then colored in with colored pencil.
Every once in a while I like to create what I call fun art. Such is the case in the orange cat done on an 8×10 old book page. The idea for this painting comes from a picture of a series of paintings on Pinterest. I apologize but the name of the artist escapes me.
A 8×10 soft pastel painting done on an old book page from the early 1900’s. Again no old books were purposely hurt in the rendering of this art. The book was in tatters. I rescued and repurposed the page. Otherwise it may be in some landfill somewhere.
