#040 | 365-Days of Color: Stretched Out Fabric

Today I started the Beta Fish (painting #3 of a 4-part commission).

Between my cats and my children, no matter where I place my canvases these monsters alway find a way to pull them down and walk all over them!! I need to order brand new canvases because all the ones I currently have are stretched out and almost bent. I’m considering transferring this sketch to a new canvas. I tell ya! 😂

I call to You from the ends of the earth,
when my heart is without strength.
Lead me to a rock that is high above me.
— Psalms 61:2

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.
