Daily Drawing #246, Home Is The Nicest Word There Is
As I grow older the definition of what a home is has changed. I believe a home is not a building. It instead is a place where you heart feels the most comfortable. I have lived in many houses in my lifetime but the only thing which made them a home to me is the love shared inside the walls. Some of my homes were among friends and coworkers. I have also been in many houses I would not consider homes because it is was obvious to me there was not much love shared between the people who live there. These houses were sad places to me. As I said since my youth my idea of a home has changed. I now believe you don’t have to me among blood relatives to feel like you’re home. You only have to be around people who truly care for you and would give up everything to show you that love. Jesus did just so that, so someday I know I will be in a home not of Earthly origin but of Heavenly design.
Daily Drawing #201, Folk Art is Very Cat-chy
Today’s drawing was done with one thing in mind, “Folk Art.” I live in the Lancaster, PA area which as an artist makes me very interested in the genre known as folk art. I used to think folk art was restricted to those interesting landscapes done without any thought to perspective. Recently however I have found folk art has many forms and subject matter. The title of today’s drawing is “Folk Art Cats #1.” It was done in colored pencils instead of acrylic paints. By the title you can gather there will be more folk art cat pictures coming. Cats have become one of my favorite subject matters.
