Water Bottle, Sunday, February 7, 2010

So, this is another of my favorite things. I purple water bottle from my sister that was a Christmas present with dragonflies on it. I carry for my new water bottle everywhere. It is made of aluminium and it sure beats the old plastic ones I used to use. Much prettier.

Tea Cup, Monday, February, 1, 2010

I quick sketch of my favorite tea cup. I like to drink peppermint tea in it each night with a bit of honey. This was done on a watercolor spray painted background with a black brush pen.

Art taking a back seat. That seems what life has been for the last few weeks. I have had more time to hang out with people and minister to lots of people and be with people, but art has certainly taken a back seat. I am not sure if that is good or bad. I know people are more important than art and there are some times that I could do art and choice not to because I just do not have the discipline. I have three spray painted backgrounds waiting to be drawn on on my desk and they have been sitting there for two weeks. God was really getting on me the other day on where I spend my time and what I really want. I say I want to do art, but I do not spend my time on it, so is it really a desire or just a fleeting wish. I have limited my creativity for a while. No poetry, no written songs, no photography. I do not think God is very happy about that. I often don't do it because of lack of discipline. It is the same reason I struggle to get up in the morning. I have discipline in some areas of my life and absolutely none in others. So, my prayer is to have a little discipline and to have fun while I am at it. I wonder if I can actually do it.

Collage Abstract, Sunday, January 3, 2010

This is the second Collage that I did like the one yesterday. I had so many pieces of stuff that I decided to do two. Fun Playing!!!

Spray Paint Abstract, Saturday, January 2, 2010

This is an Collage that I did several weeks ago after doing a ton of watercolor 4X6s for Christmas cards. I just wanted to play. It was a fun Collage Abstract. I spray painted the watercolor paper and then put it on the black paper.

December 30, 2009

Well, I have been gone for a long time. It is hard to keep up with a blog without a computer. Mine was stolen several months ago and I finally have the replacement. So blogging away we go. I am going to start the new year with blog. Unfortunately, the world of the internet and friends missed by forty-two 4X6 paintings that I did for Christmas. I could not scan them without a computer and now they are all given away. So, it is time to do more art because I have a secret goal for the next two years. God has got me in a place of resting and waiting and I need to do some music and art while I am here. So let's hear it for the beginning of 2010 and a new start with a new computer. I will have a really fun abstract up tomorrow for New Year's Eve that I did a couple of days ago.

To Please God, Wednesday, September 23, 2009

I realized the other day that I have been choosing dispair, fear, and depression instead of life these last few months. There is life in the misdt of paying off massive amounts of debt. God has been trying to teach me that and there is life in IBS land. The other day I was praying with my housemate and realizing just what a gift this disease is to me and what it has been teaching me in the realm of taking care of myself and turning to God. I want to try to choose life again and choose to please God. I did this watercolor in my journal last night and hope to start drawing and painting for real again.
