I am testing this reblog thing…. Did Jesus smile? For years the image I have had in my head of the Lord was the one seen in most paintings; dark-haired, bearded, beautiful eyes, but always serious. Except when they painted Him with children, and even then He was painted to look only semi-serious. I know [...]

Pen on paper. Trees can be found in most of my notepads. Drawing branches while listening to a teacher drone on or a staff meeting actually helped me listen to what was being said. I have read in several sources that occupying the right (creative) side of the brain while the left brain (logical) is [...]

This is the letter D. I liked the concept of legs making the letters but didn’t like the stick-figure look. So I am going to use billowing costumes to help round out and soften the letters. We’ll see where this ends up, but I intend to make something out of them!
