#010 | 365-Creative Quiet Time: Pitbull Boxer Mix Commission

#010 Pitbull Boxer Mix Commission

I so look forward to Saturday’s! My husband usually gives me most of Saturday morning to paint. It’s marvelous. Never feels long enough though.

Right now I’m working on a Pitbull Boxer mix commission of sweet Jude. I’m also fiddling with (and not sure about) this month’s painting for art collectors. I’m struggling to get the fur right on this close up tabby cat.

Today’s encouragement comes from my new “3-Minute Devotions for Women.”

In peace I lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
— Psalms 4:8

This morning I woke up anxious about our finances. We’re looking to hire a professional to help us invest and manage our money, but knowing who to trust makes me uneasy. I’m reminded by this verse that my security is in the Lord and not my finances. He knows what the future holds for this family. He provides abundantly for His children and I can rest in Him.


Daily Creative Quiet Time

Here I go! All through 2022 I’ll be sharing my daily creative quiet time routine for stress management. I’ll shoot for 10-minutes a day (at least) creating anything I please using one or more of the materials listed down below. Some days I’ll be progressing through a pet portrait commission, or an Online Animal Art Masterclass tutorial, or a Youtube tutorial, or a random idea I need to get down on paper.

The other huge and vital part of my creative process involves me spending time in the presence of God and meditating on His word. Most day’s I’ll be pulling straight from the YouVersion bible app, or from one of Rick Warren’s bible teachings, or another daily devotional.

My greatest desire, dear brother or sister, is that I can bring bright color to your eyes during such dark days AND inspire you to develop your own creative quiet time routine. Even for just 10-minutes a day!
