Strength, Honor, Glory, Blessing

Done!  I really wanted to finish these before school ended....and the last day of school is tomorrow!  Yea!

Funny, I was struggling with colors for these.  I needed some variety...no repeats...but there are only 6 major colors in the rainbow, and I have 8 canvases...so there was a whole lot of tweaking going on.  I actually had the thought that God used an awful lot of brown, so why not include a brown canvas?  Well, when the rest of the canvases are all brilliant jewel-like colors, brown is NOT a good choice.  Clearly God carries it off beautifully, but I couldn't!  So the brown got painted over.

Next?  Two sets of bifold panels for Camp Elim, a kids' Bible camp up the road from Woodland Park.  I love that place!  I have no idea what images I'll be painting yet.  I guess we'll all be surprised!

Riches and Wisdom

Here are the next two canvases.  Funny how the text in the top image looks white, and the text in the bottom image looks yellow.  Clearly the lighting was wretched, so the images are less than accurate!  Oh well.  You can still see what they look like.

The blue one got tweaked half way through.  I had started with the lighter blue being just an off-center circular shape.  But after I added the swirls, I decided that the blue circle part looked like a bird had flown overhead and disrespected my canvas!  So I enlarged that lighter section.  Which means I had to re-paint part of the swirls.  Heavens, we can't have any birdy-do on the canvas!!

Swirly Doodles in Paint

This is why I was doodling swirls.  There will be eight of these canvses, all different colors, all from Revelation 5:12.  I've placed a slightly insane deadline for myself.  I want to finish all 8 canvases before school gets out.  That would be May 24th.  Less than two weeks.  I'll let you know if I start twitching....
