Day 24 of 30 Day Painting Challenge

Out of Nowhere

Chinese ink on paper

"Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?" (Matthew 8:27)

His power is so strong and comes at the strangest times, so be on the alert for Him. He may appear to you from "out of nowhere."

Have a blessed day!

Thanks to Leslie Saeta for her painting challenge and the inspiration from all the other artists!

Day 22 of 30 Day Painting Challenge

High Stepping 

Chinese ink drawing

Leslie Saeta's 30 Day Painting Challenge - let's say, "Yay, for me!" At the beginning, I was thinking I couldn't do it, but I knew the challenge would help me feel more accountable. In life, we have to share ourselves with others, sometimes so we will continue to do good things or stop doing bad things. Accountability can help us be better people. I have used a few older paintings for this challenge recently, but I'm getting back into making new stuff and I feel energized! I'm high-stepping now!

Day 13 of 30 Day Painting Challenge

Color Me Blue

5x7" oil on archival panel

$50

With all the rain we've had, I guess my Blue Series has been fitting. This fella reminds me of a Chinese ink drawing. I enjoyed letting the brush dance and tickle the canvas. 

Day 13 isn't so bad, after all. 

This study was the fastest painting I've done for this challenge, and I really like how it turned out.
