#394 Sheep In The Meadow

| Whitt’s End Art

This started out as a simple drawing but I thought it needed a little more so I pulled out my pastels and created a folk art piece.

Isaiah 53:6; “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

#393 Sprinkled by Some Stardust

Most of us live our lives with a little stardust in our eyes dreaming of what may come. Thinking of the people we can become or of the money we can make. There is nothing wrong with a few dreams in life as long as we remain focused on what is important. Zacchaeus was man who had a certain vision for his life until on day he met a man named Jesus who changed his life forever. The same is true of us. When you enter into a relationship with Jesus your life changes. The stardust drops from your eyes and you see things as they truly are.

#389 Out On A Limb

I have been laid up the last week with the flu, super cold, whatever it was and a hard time getting up the energy to draw. So for today my entry is nothing more than a scribble drawing of a cardinal. I filled it in a little with color pencil. I hope you like it. I know it turned out better than I thought it would.

Daily Drawing #300, Oh, The Things You See These Days

| Whitt’s End Art

Oh the things you see these days. Just when you think you’ve seen it all something comes along and surprises you. I guess that is what life is all about. The old adage, “There is nothing new under the sun,” is not true because each dawn brings a new day. A new day with opportunities to share God’s love with each new person you come in contact with in your travels. So look arounf and find the new things which come your way.

Daily Drawing #293, A Reminder of Things to Come

| Whitt’s End Art

I know it is the fall but I try to move past winter to the spring to come and the coming flowers like forsythia. In life I find we do the same thing. We look ahead to much instead of focusing on the here and now/ While it is okay for certain things like financial planning it is not good get caught up in the future. In the end you’ll miss a lot of life.

Daily Drawing #174, Examine Your Nature

| Whitt’s End Art

The title my drawing, “Examine Your Nature,” has a dual meaning. The first part is my call for everyone reading this is to take the time to get out and take a walk. God created a beautiful world around us that we need to take the time to see. I love nature (today’s prompt) well except when I have to mow and weed nature. Still landscapes and flowers are two of my favorite things to sketch and paint. After all as Dante Alghieri states, “Nature is the art of God.”

The second meaning is about examining your own nature. The Bible tells us in that we need to always examine ourselves because, “And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32.  It is only when we step aside and look at what is truly inside, our internal nature can we see the areas that we need to ask God to help us clean up and make right.
