church and art

Lately, church and my art, seem to be linked.
I mean, somehow, while there, while listening to the pastor, or Sunday school, I find the “moment” to sketch.
Maybe because I am sitting still and not amidst a million tasks. Maybe because I am not in front of the computer. Maybe because I make it a point to bring along my sketchbook– and my Bible, of course.
So, here are a couple of sketches I did last Sunday.

And speaking of church and art, I’ve been asked to lead the project of working on a mural which will be the background part of the set for the Easter musical/Cantata. I’m thrilled and a little afraid, as it’s a huge undertaking at 37′ long by 11′ high. I will be the lead artist, sketching the drawing, and leading willing painters to get it done.
Please pray for me as I’m in preparation mode. Pray that I will have wisdom about what supplies are needed, what timing is needed, and that the outcome will be a part of the whole presentation, which will bring glory to God. Also, any insight from anyone on painting huge murals would be welcomed. I’ve done a couple before, but this one is huge.
