Hand it to you

I read recently that it's good to draw hands (and redraw and draw some more). I have a hard time just putzing about with random hands, so here's a start at drawing hands. I learned that I am seriously lacking in hand-drawing skills. This is not my first attempt at drawing this...
BTW Ben is my smart, funny, and dashingly handsome husband. I dedicate my second attempt of drawing this to you. (i hope that's really how you sign 'love')

Ads ads and more ads

I'm thinking about using this ad as well. I think i need to brush it up.
I'm realizing that I used to have tons of time to make seriously thoughtful
and introspective paintings. Now I have a little bit of time but still have
all these fun ideas in my head about things to draw and jokes to make.
I'm thinking my bagpipe band is not too keen on my jokes these days
and so i'd better just hold them in and draw them out.
That's, like... art therapy, right? Art therapy for those of us
who have really awful jokes. *sigh* Perhaps I can find
a group of people to stand up and also admit to having absolute
horrendous jokes. Admitting it really is the first step...

Buttons

I have this thing with buttons. Not sure why. There's a whole mess of jokes
to be made with/about/for buttons. Let's tackle a few, shall we?

fall, winter, spring, and yard-work

A friend of mine recently needed some pictures for his yard service business. Who am I to say no? I did a series of these kids with various lawn/ninja ecoutrements.

Knitted

Sometimes I read my Bible and I think to myself - this stuff is fantastic, I wish it could be somehow woven into my life. The right way of living, thinking, the peace that these people seem to have - how to get it into me.

After I had this thought, I drew this picture. The Bible, going in through my heart, weaving the very fiber of me. A picture, or a prayer, or both?
