A Home-made Greeting Card

I finished this greeting card this morning, and it will shortly be in the mail.  It's a nice thing to be able to make my own cards....except that it takes far longer than running to the store!  No matter.  It's a good and beautiful thing to pray for the recipient while I draw.  It feeds me, maybe transforms me, and makes me slow down considerably.  Even the small moments like drawing a card, are moments when God is ACTIVE.  And I am thankful for that!

Drawing While the Forest Burns

There's a wildfire about 8 miles from where we live, which is mildly disconcerting.  Since there's not a blessed thing I can do about it, I draw.  And while I draw I pray.  It seems like a good way to spend my time.

This is just a preliminary sketch for a painting I hope to do in the not too distant future.  I'm thinking when it comes time to paint, I'll make the background a wee bit darker.
