Today I was able to work for an hour on Dawson, the English Bulldog. It’s an 11x14 acrylic commission. I’m predicting I have another 3-days (1-2 hours/day) of work ahead of me on this one.
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
Everything about this verse gives me chills. God designed everything with a great purpose, especially His children. We have a holy mission to walk! A unique path ordained for us and only us. We don’t have to feel left out or forgotten or that all our efforts are being wasted because the Lord has special doors for us and only us to walk through. Opportunities with our name on it!
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.
