an odd one

Some art pieces grow themselves. This started out as a yin-yang. (What's a good little Christian girl like me doing with a yin-yang?) Then the jump for joy men created the balance needed. (I will praise the Lord no matter the circumstance.) Finally came the perfect verses Philippians 4: 12 & 13.

I know what is it sot be in need and i know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation whether well fed of hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. 

Artwork can also ruin itself. If you see my mistakes just know that it is what happens when working with ink and paper. I'd love to be given a tablet fancy drawing computer where I could fix my mistakes and only print a final perfect copy. But the physical making of art is better therapy.

Whether you believe in good and evil, balance, or God I pray that you may have the strength to meet all things in life with joy.

Paint out success!

Hooray what a day! Zionsville Paint Out was a success with almost 60 people participating. It's a busy place on a Saturday morning. I chose the paint in the farmers market. There was an older man selling hosta plants right next to a farmer with some amazing colors of food. 

This painting on the left is more of a narrative scene of the market and took two hours. 

The painting on the right is what I really wanted to focus on and took one and a half hours.
