As a man thinketh in his heart; so is he. Proverbs 23:7
"Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.
Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. " -Philippians 4:4-9

About Me
- Does it matter?
- This blog is about my journey to improve my skills and share the struggle and small victories as I go alone. You will often read my thoughts about my own walk with Christ. I do not separate that part of me because it is just who I am. Unlike most of the the rest of Christendom who seem to have wondered away, I love the Word of God found in the 66 books of the Bible and it is a rich treasure of insight. It is my Creator who has given me a measure of talent and a love for art so it seems only fitting to share both.
Art Books - See Reviews.
- Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting by John F. Carlson ... some good information, some bad. Don't read if you cannot tell the difference.
- Composing Your Paintings by Bernard Dunstan ... excellet, fast read.
- Composition by Cyril Pierce ... a classic.
- Composition of Outdoor Painting by Edgar Payne ... a classic.
- The Golden Bough by J. G. Frazer ... just beginning the book.
- The Power of the Center by Rudolph Arnhein ... powerful book.

This is an attractive and tender rendering of this Pomeranian. Are you using a live animal?...is it yours? Patti, it looks like you are having fun. Kudos.
Yes, this is our little Pom, Roxie. She is truly adorable and the best behaved sweetest dog I have ever owned. You say, "come" instantly she comes.
I'm not through with this ... and this is my first use of pastel ... so I'm learning. 8x10 in sketch pad. I think I will get some quality paper and paint this again.
Thanks so much for your comment; I value what you think.
Yes Sylvia (my college roomie).... This is where I post my work.
I'm finally becoming the painter, sculptor and now maybe the pastel-est I really wanted to be in the first place but didn't have the guts to pursue way back when.
(Can I please do your portrait over???)
As you well remember in the late 60s a career for a woman was not very promising in business let alone art ... so I took the safe route ... I thought and chose graphic arts and had to put up with you know who .... (that's another story altogether ... I don't want to even think about.)
Remember you couldn't get a loan for a sunfish sailboat...so we sailed all over Lake Waco on a styrofoam two-man boat ... puffalufaka ... Later I could not get a credit card even though my agency's client was the bank and it was in the same building of our office...merely because I was female and single. There was great discrimination against women.
Anyhow ... I'm the happiest I've been in a long while.
Very nice animal portrait - hope you do do another one. I go sailing every summer - son-in-law's got a little dingy - I just love sailing!
