If this painting looks familiar. That is because it is. I created the same piece of art earlier using soft pastels. For this one I used acrylic paints on a 9×12 canvas. I like both mediums because of the vibrant colors. I hope you have blessed day and as always remember to live like God is watching , because He always is watching over us.
I chose this one picture to paint because I like the pop of color transfixed against the black and gray background. The painting was done on a grey 9×12 piece of card stock using a mixture of color pencil and soft pastel. The flower is a reminder to me of each new day we are given. In every day there is renewal and a hope for our walk in this dark and grey world. It is a new day as Christine says,”to see all of our neighbors in a new light….God’s love and light.”
There are some pictures which inspire me to try them just to see what the end result. The original picture had whit flowers. I felt compelled to add a touch of pink. I just think it adds something to the picture. I used a pen to highlight the vase and stems them overplayed soft pastels. The background is a yellow piece of 9 x 12 scrapbooking paper.
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.
I know it has been spring for several days now but it hasn’t really felt like spring. However the temps are going up so now I feel it is time to declare, Spring has sprung. The painting was done using pen, pastels, and some highlights in acrylic.
