Wow, life has been keeping me busy! I can't believe the summer is coming to a close. Things are beginning to start up again for the fall and I've been preparing. My daughter starts her last year of preschool next week and my MOMS ministry as well as the LifeGroup that my hubby and I lead are all starting up again in the next few weeks. It is going to be fun to get back into the swing of things again!
I thought I'd share some more photos of my artwork! Here are a few more finished pieces.
This is titled "Beginnings of Creation" and is mixed media on canvas. I created this for a show that our visual arts ministry at church, Collage, was participating in. It was a local community event called the Live Green Expo. The theme of the show was recycling and taking care of our planet so I used recycled magazine pages to create the tree and leaves. I also wanted to convey the idea that God is the ultimate Artist, the Creator of the earth! The verse is from Genesis 1:11: "Then God said 'Let the land sprout with vegetation - every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.' And that is what happened." Here is a close up of the verse, Genesis 1:11...
This piece I did for a dear friend who just had her first baby! It is also mixed media on canvas and the verse is Psalm 119:73, "Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands."
I've got several still in the process, all in different stages. I also began
Wyanne's Art Play class and am so loving it! I worked on some new watercolor pieces last night and had so much fun. It has been a while since I've used watercolor and it was nice to pick it up again. If you are looking for online classes, I highly recommend Wyanne as well as
Paulette Insall. Paulette is currently taking sign ups for her fall mixed media classes. You can check them out
here! I'm just so thankful to these ladies for sharing their wisdom and talent with others!

Such beautiful work. I remember the first day of kindergarten for my daughter...I cried for an hour and went and played tennis with my husband. Now I wish I would have started homeschooling then instead of Junior High and High School.
Enjoy every moment, it goes by so fast. She is now 31 and getting her degree in Criminal Justice.
Yep, she's the one with the Tazer.
Hugs,
Pam
