#019 | 365-Creative Quiet Time: Dolphin Commission

#019 Dolphin Commission

I’ve been so excited to start this one! A very refreshing change from my regular cat or dog. Don’t you just love how dolphins always look like they’re smiling?

Today’s verse comes from Proverbs 17:22.

A joyful, cheerful heart brings healing to both body and soul. But the one whose heart is crushed struggles with sickness and depression.
— Proverbs 17:22

My goal for this week is to turn on praise and worship music when I cannot create or when I feel anxious. Baby Zachary has not been sleeping through the nights so this mama is running on fumes! Joyful music and art will help keep the Lord front and center instead. My defense from and through worry!


Daily Creative Quiet Time

Here I go! All through 2022 I’ll be sharing my daily creative quiet time routine. I’ll shoot for 10-minutes a day (at least) creating happy colorful animals! Some days I’ll progress through a pet portrait commission, or an Online Animal Art Masterclass tutorial, or a Youtube tutorial, or artwork for Collectors.

My phrase for the year is “Confidence in the Lord.” For me the creative process involves more than just canvas and paint, it’s an act of praise and worship. Using God’s word I hope to learn and apply what it really means to draw my whole confidence from the Lord. Most day’s I’ll pull straight from the YouVersion bible app, or from one of Rick Warren’s bible teachings, or another daily devotional. It’s my great hope from all of this to bring bright color to your eyes during such dark days AND inspire you to develop your own creative quiet time routine. Now let’s paint!
