Another soft pastel painting done on an 8×11 inch book page. Once again I love an old book page as a canvas.

#504 Flat Tire
A simple pen drawing highlighted with Crayola Twistable Color Pencils. The drawing was done on 8×10 whit paper. The drawing while a lans ape drawing is also an abstract of a man pushing his broken bike up a hill. I would like like to says life is like the broken bike there are times we must push our broken bike relying on God to help us make our way.
#503 Standing by the Flower
An original abstract painting rendered in soft pastel on an 8×10 old book page. I love putting small paintings on old book pages. There is something about the yellowed paper which sets off each painting differently. This painting is of an old Tim toy standing next to a vase of flowers. I hope you enjoy the painting.
#500 and 501 White Flower Two Mediums
Well I’ve reached the midway point of my 1001 drawings/paintings challenge. The two paintings today are of the same flowers and are both done on 6×9 inch Strathmore paper. The flower on the left was painted in soft pastels which were then lightly brushed with water. The one on the right was done using oil pastels. I like certain aspects of both but just like life there are things I’d like to redo. I hope you like them.
#499 Upside Down Clown
I did one drawing of old tin toys on an old 8×11″ book page. This is number two done in color pencil and black pen. I have a couple more in the series to do.
#498 Background in Blue
Today’s painting was done using acrylic paintings on an 8×10 canvas panel. The painting started out as just a scraped painting then the vase and flowers were added.
#497 Walking in Sunshine
A man walking along along a deserted street in the early morning light when the sun is blinding and it is hard to see. The painting is done in oil pastels on 6×9 Strathmore drawing paper. I love a good sunrise. The beauty of the sun peeking over the horizon then as the sun rises everything is bathed in an orangish glow. At times you have to look away. There are times in my Christian life that I look into the word of God and find sheer beauty as the words rise from the page and into my heart. There are other times when I must look away because I’m blinded by the truth found there. God said the light will illumine all been those hidden things in our hearts.
#495 Field of White Flowers
Today’s offering is actually an 18×24 soft pastel painting I started back in the 90’s. I found it in a portfolio and decided it needed to be finished. It started out as soft pastel but I added soft touches of oil pastels. The key to life is always finishing what you started. It may take a while but keep preserving.
#488 Yellow Flowers
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.
