Daisies for D.O.G.




One of the sympathy cards we received when D.O.G. died had these beautiful painted daisies - I was really drawn to them... ended up sketching and painting them myself. This is in my pocket Moleskin sketchbook with Cotman student watercolors and water brush and pen.

This is the first post of my art that is scanned - the few pics previously posted I took with my digital camera... but I also want to experiment with scanning my work as I can see a definite advantage with scanning: more control over the light and exposure... I'm excited about scanning! :)

What do you do - scan or pic?

Well, this Sunday I will speak at a completely new church. This one is "over the hill" in San Jose - a completely different place than my mountain church in Boulder Creek! And it will be a building full of strangers as I don't expect anyone I know to attend services. I'm nervous and excited all at once. My message is entitled, "Who Me Lord? Are You Sure?" and centers on the role of doubt in our faith and lives. This is the first run with this message - I will give it again at another church in Santa Cruz August 31. That event will be taped and I hope to share a copy on the blog sometime in September. Wish me luck!

Talk soon..

Nice Daisies... Dogs do teach us a lot about ourselves don't they. Good luck at the new church, I'm sure your message will be well received.

I'm so sorry about the loss of your beloved friend.....I have 4 of my own and can't imagine losing any one of them.

Your daisy painting is a beautiful tribute.

Blessings to you this Sunday...The Lord bless you, keep you and cause His face to shine upon you.

Very pretty daisies. Regarding the scan or photo question, I scan mainly because I'm too lazy to go where there is good light for taking photos. :-)

Your daisies are beautiful. We had to put our thirteen year old dog to sleep earlier this spring...they are so much a part of your family...they just love you unconditionally. You will have wonderful memories.
