An 8 1/2 by 11 soft pastel painting on white water color paper. I created the painting using layers of soft pastel lightly brushed with water. The effect creates a kind of chalky water effect.

#490 Peacock
On a recent trip to New Mexico I took some pictures of a peacock. This 8 1/2 by 11 soft pastel painting,done on Canson, paper was inspired by the peacocks I saw there. Life is full of beauty we just have to take the time and see the world around us for what it is, God’s creation. Try it sometime you will be amazed by the things which appear in front of you through the lens of God’s word.
#489 The Mouse
Every once in a while I like to create a simple doodle illustration which explains the drawing for today. I hope you enjoy.
#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.
#486 People Talking
A 9×12 oil pastel painting on a piece of grey card stock. The Bible says that we are not to try and stand alone. A rope of three strands is a lot stronger than one made of on,y one strand. So get in a group and do greater things for God thank you could on your own.
#485 Looking Out Over the Sea
The reference photo for this painting cones from Unsplash. The painting is a 6×9 oil pastel rendering on a Strathmore drawing pad. It is sad to say but summer my friends is coming to an end. Labor Day weekend is upon us. The Bible has many references to the seasons of the earth as well as the seasons of life. Like everything that comes our way we must enjoy them and use the time wisely because it is fleeting.
#484 One Flower Among Many
A 9×12 abstract painting created using craft acrylic paints on cardboard. I created the background using an old credit card to scrape the paint. The rest is brushed on. I put the one black flower as symmetry for the rest on the painting. In art as in life all must work together to create something beautiful. There is great beauty when the pieces of life/art join as one.
#483 Flowers in Old Coffee Pot
An abstract painting of flowers created on an 8×11 old book page. I used hard pastels for the coffee pot then wet them with a paint brush. The flowers are also went hard pastel for the base color then used color pencil to add more color.
#482 The Cactus
I get a lot compliments about the art I put on old book pages. The Cactus is done an 8 x 11 in page from the early 1900’s. The picture is done in watercolors and highlighted in ink. Don’t get mad at me the book was falling apart and there was not cover. I think the letter in the background provide a good backdrop for art. In life it is not always important to be at the front. Offering good and faithful background help sometimes is more important.
