#041 | 365-Days of Color: Commission Complete

Dawson is finished! An English Bulldog on 11x14 canvas using acrylics. What do you think?

And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
— 1 John 5:15

In my own life I’ve learned that it’s either a Yes, No (I have something better), or Not Yet! I’ve just recently had a very personal prayer answered that I’ve been praying about for over 3 years. It’s not at all the answer I thought the Lord would give, still He did provide! So be open to what the Lord is doing and what He has in store. It may look very different, but He hears you, He cares for you, and He CAN answer prayers. If not, He has a purpose for your waiting and/or testing of your heart

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.
