A lot of people like my old page drawings. I must admit I also like them as backgrounds. This book page is from a history book from the twenties. It is an 8 1/2 x 11 colored pencil drawing. In our society something old, like people, are not valued as much as they should. There is a lot of wisdom that can be gained from sitting down and conversing with a senior citizen. It will do you both good.
Every so often I do a 6×9 oil pastel painting. I like the the oil pastels because they leave a little of the white showing through. As always any of my drawings and paintings are for sale. This painting would be $10.00 which includes shipping.
Another in my series of 6×9 oil pastel paintings. This one is of a woman walking along a sunlit path. A shoutout to Unsplash.com for the reference photo. This painting was inspired by the Bible verse, “Walk in the light as He is in the light.” As Believers we are follow Jesus’ model for our lives. This is the best way I know how to be in the light.
An 8 1/2 by 11 soft pastel painting on white water color paper. I created the painting using layers of soft pastel lightly brushed with water. The effect creates a kind of chalky water effect.
On a recent trip to New Mexico I took some pictures of a peacock. This 8 1/2 by 11 soft pastel painting,done on Canson, paper was inspired by the peacocks I saw there. Life is full of beauty we just have to take the time and see the world around us for what it is, God’s creation. Try it sometime you will be amazed by the things which appear in front of you through the lens of God’s word.
Every once in a while I like to create a simple doodle illustration which explains the drawing for today. I hope you enjoy.
A recent 6×9 abstract oil pastel painting. I like the ease of use of the oil pastels especially on white paper. Each day in life we need to take an inventory and see where our tine, money and resources are going, do we spend more of our energy seeking after our needs or after our calling from God. Remember where your heart is there also will come your most effort.
A 9×12 oil pastel painting on a piece of grey card stock. The Bible says that we are not to try and stand alone. A rope of three strands is a lot stronger than one made of on,y one strand. So get in a group and do greater things for God thank you could on your own.
The reference photo for this painting cones from Unsplash. The painting is a 6×9 oil pastel rendering on a Strathmore drawing pad. It is sad to say but summer my friends is coming to an end. Labor Day weekend is upon us. The Bible has many references to the seasons of the earth as well as the seasons of life. Like everything that comes our way we must enjoy them and use the time wisely because it is fleeting.
