#050 | 365-Days of Color: Quick Frog Portrait

Today I didn’t have much time to get messy in paint so I decided to create this froggy portrait using copic markers. I may not always be able to paint, but I can still pull out my dry(er) mediums.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
— John 15:16

I love this verse! God chose us first, to bear fruit, and not just any old fruit, the GOOD stuff that lasts AND…for even more good news, whatever we ask our Father will give (recap from other blog posts - it’s either a Yes, No (I have something better) or Hold On it’s coming! He wants to give us good things, but at the right time.

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.
