#035 | 365-Days of Color: Abstract Horse

Today I finished the abstract horse painting! Now for the next four days, in between arting of course, I’ll be doing the editing for my next YouTube tutorial. It took me about 1.5 hours, give or take a few. I was holding sleeping baby Zachary for the majority of it. Poor baby is sick again. Oy Vey!

I was also able to get working on my next pet portrait commission of Dawson. He’s not a mastiff, he’s actually an English Bulldog! Surprising right. Such a handsome fella don’t you think?!

Making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
— Ephesians 5:16

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.
