It's been raining, raining, raining! Aside from the fact that it's a holiday today, many streets have been flooded, and so we are staying home. On my desk today for What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday is an illustration from my prayer journal. I am practicing drawing men using a vintage bible comic book...
My son recently came back from a trip to Japan and here are some of his "pasalubong", a Filipino tradition of bringing back a homecoming gift.
And I am in the process of putting paints into small jars for a friend of mine who was planning to buy some paints. Since I have such big jars, I'm sharing some with her...
For Word Art Wednesday, a close up of my "practice drawing men" illustration with a verse that I claim for my family...
Last week, I offered an ATC in my blog post and the name of Anne of Copper Beech Crafts got picked. Send me your address, Anne!
That green paint is very bright!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, hope you have a good week

That's nice of you to share your paints with your friend. I like the vibrant colors too. Wow I am really sad I didn't get to your desk last week, I peeked and see I missed out on the opportunity to win one of your lovely ATCs. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!

Your practice drawing is fab! So sweet of you to share your paints. Thanks for the earlier visit! Happy WOYWW! Nan G #1
ReplyDeleteI, too, draw faces, and just two or three weeks ago I was thinking I need to draw some men. This is a great encouragement for me to branch out and "Try" the menfolk.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet son you have and how great for you to share your paints. The really good paints can get very expensive if you slosh paint on large canvases like I do.
I so enjoy your blog. Thank you.
How kind and generous to share your paints with your friend, I am sure they will be appreciated. I am loving your art today and definitely don't think you need any practice drawing men. He looks fabulous to me. Happy WOYWW! Danie #17
ReplyDeleteYour ATC is totally amazing. That is one of my favorite scriptures. Happy crafting #7

Well, I'm enjoying your practice images, he's a super rendition indeed. What a great idea to practice from the comic book types that are already sketch type, very helpful I would have thought.It's amazing to me that you have to practice! Kind of you to share your paints, it makes them a real gift.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear you sharing your paints with a friend. Love your latest artwork.
