#025 The Purple Dolphin
I’m very pleased with how this one is coming along, but I’m having trouble with that right purple dolphin. It doesn’t have the same variety of blues, purples, and pinks like the others.
I’m thinking to add a blue wash overtop to help her blend in. Or maybe I should leave her alone? I also plan to add more bubbles along the water line, and something sitting on top the water, possibly?
This is definitely one of those “figure it out as you go” kind of paintings. It’s all an experiment. I’ve been praying throughout this entire process. The next step comes to me as soon as I finish one, but only until I finish it. It’s like putting a puzzle together. It becomes easier to place the pieces together when you can see most of it, but you don’t need to see everything.

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) progressing through a Commission, or an Online Animal Art Masterclass tutorial, or a Youtube tutorial, or artwork for Collectors.
For me the creative process involves more than just colorful paint, it’s an act of praise and worship. I chose the phrase “Confidence in the Lord” as my art/life focus for the year. I plan to pull colorful inspiration from bible verses, the valuable lessons of life, and the vibrant paint I get my hands on! Now lets paint.
