"Sweet Fragrance" is finished.  This drawing is to represent 2 Cor. 2:15.  I drew this one for a great couple that has helped me with soooo much this past year.

Rose in Hand


     Here is the latest drawing that I started tonight...it will represent
2 Cor. 2:15. 
    I am also working hard at making sure everything I can do admin-wise is done before I head back later next month.
   I am on lesson two of one of Diane Cardaci's Foundations of drawing class.  I enjoy them.  It is about training the eye to see.
   I can't wait to get back and get going.  Lots of excitement and prayer is going on around here.

Back in the saddle...

   I am headed back again soon.  Stay tuned for the date, after the travel arrangements are made.  Keep things in prayer.  I will also be continuing the drawing classes online, working directly with the teacher by way of scans and email.
   For those who support by way of prayer groups and intercession, I will begin sending out letters out with updates for specifically for you in February.  And for all those who are financially supporting, newletters will be going out in mid-Feb.
   There is also a website available for prints of drawings to purchase as I draw a visual journal of the next 12 months or so.  http://www.chinajoy.artspan.com/ .

Here's the latest...


I was sick this past week, so I do not think this is my best work.  However, it did not turn out too bad either.  I experimented more with charcoal in ths one.  When I was drawing it, it made me think of Ps. 57:1.

Had a great morning at the Women's Tea from the 2010 Freedom Conference.  Also, finished another commissioned drawing.

Well, I have started drawing classes....I am starting at the beginning with a foundation in drawing.  The lessons are with Diane Cardaci at http://www.drawspace.com/ .  I have also enjoyed a great 2010 Freedom Conference.  Also just started on another commissioned drawing (above).  It's a little hard to see from the scan until I get further into the drawing.

The new year is off to a good start.

I just returned from a great few weeks with my daughter and her husband.  Here is the commissioned piece that I have been working on.  There is still some tweaking to be done.

Busy December 09


     December was a very busy month.....not just the holidays, but also the work to get the drawing website up and running, a commissioned drawing that I am working on (the one in the picture), getting ministry work together....so on and so on....
     I have put together a webste to sell prints of the drawings I have done and will be doing in China.  http://www.chinajoy.artspan.com/ , and I have set up a shop for ministry logo items at http://www.cafepress/chinajoy.  I have also set up a squidoo.com lens to help direct traffic to these. http://www.squidoo.com/chinajoy
     In the near future, there will be a shop set up and linked to the artspan page to sell cards featuring the drawings and photos.  These sites are a great way for friends and supporters to help get the word out about the work I am doing, and to raise more support.    Refer your friends to the website at artspan.  It will have links for everything else on it.
