Oh boy like has been QUACKING challenging lately. The children have been sick for three weeks now with a nasty, stubborn virus. Right when I thought we’re out of the woods they both got fevers late last night and today.
Adam and I are downright exhausted. Poor Adam still doesn’t have a job yet after 2-months, but we’re expecting something great to happen after all of this. We know God is working behind the scenes.
I wanted to do a little recap on my 100-animals challenge! I’ve completed 32-animals thus far, Mr. Duck will be #33. Oh man is this one big challenge! I’m determined though. I’m able to do the sketch one day and paint the next, but not all in one day.

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.
