Cartoons On A Saturday

Having a great Saturday sketching a little cartoon for an old roomie.

Maria and I go back to 1978 and shared and apartment while 

attending Poncé School of Cosmetology in Palo Alto. 

Good times!

Just taking some time to appreciate friendship.

Have a great holiday weekend!

Holy Is The Lord

I am SO happy. I have finished this acrylic art piece that was made for a special friend. It was a truly a joy for me to create, and that I could put her 'life verse' on it. It is being packed up and will ship tomorrow. Yay!

Layers, Layers And More Layers

I have learned with acrylic paint, the more layers the more beautiful the end result.

Artists have different ways to approach their work and techniques vary, but for me, this seems to be it.

Lots of layers, texture and color & I am pleased with the result. I enjoyed every step....and yes, I did have a few moments where I was wondering 'what the heck?" The ugly stage. Artist, you know what I'm talking about. The part when you think you should scrap it, put it in the closet or paint over it.

There comes a time when we understand to trust in the what we have learned and enjoy the process.

'For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Come let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.' Psalm 95:3-7
