I just completed this one. I was tossed up between making it 'choppy' or muting the colors in trying to make the 'dead' concept stand out. The muted, black and white, sepia, etc. colors still didn't represent what I wanted well enough. Again, this is different than any of my others. And I am learning new techniques all the time.

Sometimes I think this is how 'Christians' look most of the time. They have a plastered look with glazed-over eyes. They look good but you can see there is no life within them.

Busy Busy!

I have been busy this week! I finished four pictures. There are the dry times or where I am stronger doing other things then there are times when I just do my art all hours of the day! I love it!

I had previously done this scripture before. I wanted to do something different but was having a hard time formulating the thoughts. But at some point I liked where it was at and decided to leave it like that.

The Spirit and the bride say, Come!

I had been wanting to do a 'Bride' picture for a long time but I didn't quite have it in my minds eye what I was looking to accomplish. I saw a picture the other day and it sparked something. So here it is. Someone asked where the head was or why it was cut off. The response given was if you were looking for the whole body you were missing the point of the picture.

Delight!

The other day the word 'delight' popped into my head. Hmm, I wondered. A new picture. What does the bible say about the word delight? So I looked it up and when I saw the scripture in Song of Solomon I knew that was the one to use.

I enjoy the fact that most of my art is different. There does not seem to be any set pattern. It is like I see what I am after and I just keep working it until my spirit it says, ya! There it is. That's it!

I wanted the apples to stand out. I have chosen to not include full scriptures or the full verse on the picture thus it retains its artistic look and hopefully it makes folks want to go look up the verse for themselves to see what it says in its entirety.

I really like this one. There is something very different about it. Something very different in its feel.

This picture was made in hopes to use it for a logo, business card or something of that nature. The original picture that it started from is one that I took as I flew out of the Utah Airport and the sun was setting. Obviously, unless I am mistaken, one cannot tell, or at least from this picture whether it is a sunset or sunrise, hence the name Dawn Creations.

Me Again!

I take pictures of everybody. I have pictures of everybody. I didn't have any of me. Someone asked about my picture and I had to tell them that I am usually the one taking pics so there just are not very many of myself. Besides that, I didn't think there were too many good pictures ever taken of me.

I have others say the same thing about themselves and my reply is, 'that is because sometimes a lot of pictures need to be taken to capture the right you.' If you take enough pictures you are bound to find a few really good ones. Well, I guess I had to eat my words.

So, I started taking pictures of myself. At first out of sheer curiosity to see if my statement was indeed true. Nevertheless, after a few hundred (??) I found some nice ones. I was even told by my husband that one of them was the best picture ever taken.

After doing other portraitures I decided to see what would happen if I did one of me. And ta-da! This is the end result!

Me!!?

In case y'all ever wondered just what this kook looks like, this is a portraiture of me! The picture I use for my icon/avatar with the eyes and scripture... those are my eyes.

Holy, Holy, Holy!

I finished this one about a week ago. I just kept thinking or hearing, Holy, Holy, Holy. I guess it is just where God is taking me on this glorious journey!

This is from a picture that I took up in the mountains here in Colorado.
