This is a practice drawing I created on a 9×12 white drawing pad using soft pastels and color pencils. The only thing I can say is practice will hopefully one day make not perfect but better. Enjoy your day and God bless.

#417 Sometimes There is Rain
I created this painting using a piece of 9×12 grey paper; 3 colors of grey and a black soft pastel. The flower is color pencil. In life there is always going to be times when there will be some rain. These are the times we can either draw closer to God or push Him away. The comfort comes in the fact no matter what when we come to God as He states in Hebrews, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” In the rainy times we need to look through the torrential downpour and see God right there before us.
#416 Life In A Goldfish Bowl
There are times in life I feel like I am living in a fish bowl. There are cameras everywhere watching our our movements when we venture out of our homes. Some people even have cameras in their homes because they want to feel more secure. I know the cameras are there to protect to protect the innocent and as long as you don’t break the law you have nothing to worry about. Still in the back of your mind you know someone is always watching. What is comforting however is know that God is always watching over us in good and bad times. Well it is comforting to those who know and love Him. So if you don’t there is no time like the present to get to know Him
#415 Red Dress Sitting Around
This is the newest entry in a series of paintings I’m doing with depictions of seated models. This one like the rest is on a 6 1/2 by 8 old book page. It is illustrated using soft pastels and color pencils. I hope you like the drawing. I have no message for today other than to say to get better at anything you must put your faith in God and trust Him to guide you.
#412 Sitting By the Window
EThis is another redo drawing from last year. I used soft pastels to add more color to the drawing. I enjoyed doing this one. A sad little doll who travels the world but never gets to enjoy the benefits. It reminds me of a Christian who lives their life never knowing the joy of serving God because all they do is sit in their pew or look out a window but never step out in service. Don’t be that Christian. Get up and get out.
#410 Waitin’ For Spring to Blossom
It seems this year winter is trying to keep hold. I however know Spring is here and soon the flowers will bloom and the blossoms will pop. They always say good things come to those who wait. God also wants us to be patient and wait for the good things He promises us. So on this Easter weekend remember those who patiently waited for Messiahs arrival then had to renew their faith and patience when He went to the cross.
#409 Fairy On Toadstool…Texting
This fairy it seems like to text. Who’d have thought? No, seriously we have become a nation who is consumed with texting. The blemish with texting is that there is no personal contact. So make an effort, put down the phone and talk face to face. This painting is soft pastel on white 9 x 12 paper. It is for sale. If interested contact me at Whittsendart@gmail.com.
#403 Sitting On The Porch
This is actually a redo of a picture, which according to the date, I did in January 2017. I took the original and colorized it using soft pastels and Prismacolor colored pencils. I have loved getting back to my roots of using pastels. I hope to regain the mastery of them I once had.
