Just a short blog to give you a peek into what I started this week. I had forgotten that I had some cradle boards prepped with metallic plaster on the edges and masked off to paint. When I moved the studio it was a nice surprise to find them. I decided to veer away from birds and paint these two adorable puppies. They belong to a good friend of mine and are as sweet as can be, however, not always this calm. I’m sure they’re dreaming about chasing bunnies.
A quick sketch done a couple of days ago. Today I started blocking in.Getting the values and colors blocked in today. Can’t wait to get back to it tomorrow.
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.
