#098 | 365-Days of Color: Orange Tabby Cat

Welp, I didn’t finish an animal portrait today, but I did manage to get this far on an orange tabby commission. It was so odd, I could not get my editing software program to work on my computer. I wanted to upload more footage to vimeo so I can film more of my artwork, so I spent 3-hours trying to solve that problem. Before you know it the sunlight was going away, so I quickly painted this much of Winnie the tabby cat. I’m happy with her thus far and hope to film at least the ending of it tomorrow.

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
— Mathew 19:26

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.
