Ideas and Sketches and the Bible

I love the Bible.
It is full of interesting stories, all of which I believe are absolutely true.
Yes, God created the universe.
Yes, there was an Adam and Eve who introd
uced sin into the world.
Yes, There is a Jesus who paid the price for that sin by dying on the cross and rising from the dead.

This leads me to my next project, or
set of projects.

I am illustrating some of my favorite stories from the Bible.
I want to draw them as I picture them happening.
I started today with a few roug
h sketches.
I will choose my favorites and paint them on canvas. I can't do them all as supplies cost money and I don't have much of that.

It's Been a While Since My Last Post





I have been painting a lot, and I like it.
I haven't posted in a while because life has been running at a frantic pace.
Decided to slow down and relive a little of it with you.
I just finished a couple of shirts for a lady I work with.
She is going on a trip with a friend she has had for 50 years.
Pretty cool.
Simple text with no design, but I think it works.
Remember though that my photo skills are extremely lacking,
and this one was taken on my phone.
I did a couple of pillow cases as birthday presents.




Quite a few Field day shirts for my sister and her friends.




And a bunch of softball helmets.
Here are a few of my favorites.




I did several of this multi-colored zebra stripe type of design.





This is just a small portion of what I have been up to.
I have done a bunch of airbrush work, but I would like to attack another canvas or guitar.
I am also starting a writing project about my experience with losing my infant daughter, Maddie.
Prayers would be appreciated for that endeavor, it is proving to be tougher than I thought.


I am also trying to figure out a way to begin some sort of art ministry.
Once again, prayers would be great.
