School started a couple weeks ago, and I started working on my art. Full-time. I finally finished one of my entries… (grahite pencil, aprox. 8″x11″ on moleskine sketchbook) This is for a international moleskine exchange, where each of us draws a self-portrait, then sends it to the next person, and they draw themselves and the person whose book they have. Inspired by Sara’s picture in the woods, I drew her, and myself [...] Have you been there? I am there right now. I know I should be creating things, but I don’t seem to be able to. I have ideas of grandeur, but even picking up a pencil seems like too much effort. Something in me really wants to paint and draw, but I sabotage my own efforts by [...] Ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys… Drum roll please…. The old Jerusalem unveiled… 13feet x 36 ft latex/acrylic on muslin 54 hours of work, more or less, from start to finish, including the time when I first drew the scene on paper, based on what Pr.

Now, I think I have had all the help from other volunteers I can, and I have to do the rest on my own. The buildings need to be one unit, and I need to do all the details myself. I won’t be able to get anyone to do it like [...] The last few days are a bit of a blur. I’ve been working on the mural for the whole weekend. Thursday I mixed a couple colors. Friday I painted all day, with 5 volunteers, down to 2, down to 1, by the night time. I was at the church from 9:15am to 10:40pm with an hour respite. On [...] About 6 weeks ago, I was asked if I’ve done murals before, by a leader from our new church. Without hesitating, I said, yes. It’s true, I have done a couple. Little did I know what I was getting myself into. I had said yes to painting, and leading other volunteers, to paint the backdrop for [...] |
