Drawn in Church; Painted Later at Home

I drew this in church a few weeks ago using a ballpoint pen. I finally added the color today. I've always loved to color! Please, excuse the poor photo. I need to make photography a higher priority, but I tend to take the easy road, which is snapping pictures with my iPhone.

Drawing in Church; Painting at Home

Here's another simple piece I drew during church, so it was inspired by a verse and drawn from my imagination.

A friend introduced me to a lovely color combo today. She actually had the paint chips in her purse! She recently repainted her daughter's bedroom in a lovely, unexpected combination of bright blue and orchid. I decided to use her colors for my painting today. I like!

Forgetting My Pencil

I left the house with a sketchbook, but no pencil. I had plenty of pens, but I'm not usually confident enough to sketch with pen. I really dislike messing up a journal page. Okay, I am afraid of messing up a page in a journal. "They're sketchbooks; they're for practicing," I say to myself. "I know, but...," I say back. I know I need to get over this fear.

My grandmother was a quietly funny person. She worked crossword puzzles for fun, and she was fond of saying, "I'm very confident. I work crossword puzzles with pen!" Okay, Grandma, I hear you. I drew this with no guidelines and with a ballpoint pen, and I like it! It's gonna be okay!

Sow in Peace - Grow in Peace

I drew this in church and painted it later that day at home. Sunday is my fun day--the day I try to do some artwork just for fun.
