#026 | 365-Days of Color: 3-Dolphins Commission Finished

#026 Commission Finished

It’s simple and yet complex. Loads of color, minimal objects. I’m very happy with how balanced this painting appears. If I had to name it I’d call it, “Sunshine Ocean.”

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised
— Psalms 113:3

My next challenge is a Sphynx! I could squeeze in the sketch while the kiddos slept today and tomorrow it’s painting time. I’ve only painted this breed of cat once, it was quite tricky. I’m excited to use abstract colors again and some floral designs!

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.
