For those of you who may be interested in how the collaborative project is going, here’s what I’ve got done so far. My phone is not cooperating real well with the light so it’s hard to really depict my piece well, but you can see I’m pretty much done with my smaller piece and now working on the background. You can see where our pieces will be laying over the top of the big tree. I plan to be done by Friday with everything. I can’t wait to see what Bud and Beth have done. This will be the last peek of the project until it is complete–there has to be some element of surprise, right?
A little more touch up tomorrow–the paint is too wet right now. But almost done.Start of the big oak and the location where my painting will go. It will be a little more to the right but I didn’t want it to fall off the easel 😉
I am a curious artist who enjoys stimulating dialogue, exploring perspective and relationship in all things art, life (human and animal kingdom alike) and my beliefs...I avoid politics when possible.
A little background on this blog--I'd been going to an art group for Christians called The Responding and a few months in I decided to respond--yep, I'm a slow one to respond. About the same time my husband wanted me to illustrate some of his children's poetry, which is far from my style. I was praying about it and woke up with the idea to start doodling responses to my morning devotions and hopefully I'd be able to develop a style that could work for poetry. I decided to doodle through My Utmost for His Highest. At first I started with just doodles, then I decided to add a brief thought response on the back of the card. Then one day I thought, "Why keep these to myself, I'll start a Facebook photo page. Eventually it became this blog.
What's planned for the future? When I've doodled through the whole book I plan to do a physical show with them. I will also choose some to develop further and the remainder I will. sell them. All proceeds will go to relieve abuse of all kinds. Currently I'm exploring ministries and orginizations that have credible backgrounds to invest in. More details will be made available as I continue on with this venture. I'm trusting God to lead me.

Claudia, thank you for the reminder. The unveiling was last Saturday. The whole thing was really meaningful so I decided to write a complete blog about it. Look for that this weekend sometime.
