A NEW DAY !

8  x  10   Acrylic

This is for Camille' moleskin- her theme is Peace or anything we wanted.

So I wanted something that brings me the "hope of peace" and a sunrise is what did it for me.

For with each new day is a fresh start.

I worked on those clouds a while, you would think they're easy but I had a dickens of a time with them.

As surely as the sun rises, he will appear. Hosea 6:3

" Devlin & Callie "

7  x  9  Watercolor pencils

This is Devlin and Callie for Liz Holm moleskins on The Flying Moleskins project. Her theme is portraits and the one done by Dana of her mom is so beautiful..... so mine went to the dogs !!!

 I am a dog lover and these two are so cute it was such a pleasure to draw them.

I haven't used my watercolor pencils in a while and thought it would be the perfect medium for these 2 pups.

FUTURE OF FORESTRY

Tiffany has passed the halfway mark ... YEA !

                                                                          8 x 23   Acrylic

This is for Edward's book for The Flying Moleskins. His theme is MUSIC. So my piece is about a band with a name I love since trees are involved........ lol
Future of Forestry is a musical group my daughter introduced me to. She brought me to a concert of theirs at Christmas time in San Diego. I was blown away by the sound they had. So different yet powerful, even with the traditional Christmas pieces.
This song is called SLOW YOUR BREATH DOWN from their new CD     " Travel III " it is beautiful and will be out in June.
This is a Christian band and they are getting a lot of traction on MTV and other arenas.
I hope you listen to them and enjoy them as much as I do.

I've always loved the Cello but when I saw this one I was blown away.

This instrument I still don't know what it is but the sound it makes is beautiful.
Burst into jubilant song with music.  ps 98:4

I'm Blooming

                                                 8  x  8   Acrylic

This is for Sheila Tajima's flying moleskin and her theme is
" What you love "
Well for me one of my loves is flowers and trees and since the trees around here are exploding with beauty I could not help myself but paint one of them.

ON DISPLAY !

       This is for Irit's moleskin, her theme is places, where you live. Well I can't say I went very far .....lol

I enjoyed doing this it became very relaxing.

DETAILS

I'm receiving....

        16  x  5.5   Graphite and Watercolor

This is for the book of Dana Cooper her theme is "Dreams" for
  The Flying Moleskins. I wrote on the previous page

..but there is a God in Heaven who reveals mysteries.
.., and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen. Daniel 2:28-29

I have revelatory dreams sometimes and can occasionally interpret someone else's. They can be magical moments.

" THE FLYING MOLESKINS "

WE"RE OFF

A few of us are getting together to sketch, draw, paint, collage etc.. what ever our artistic mind decide.

In our collaborative MOLESKINS exchange.

I started "The Flying Moleskins"

with the idea that each of us would do something artistic in each others books but with the premise that we would have a book of our own at the end.

Some of us will have themes so it will be interesting to see the different ideas that come out of it.

Our first submission by Liz Holm

 What a fabulous start she did come and check us out and be a follower
