ReplyDeleteWhat happy things to look at on a cold, snowy day. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIn response to day 195 I am thankful for:
ReplyDelete1. God's gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.
2. The Holy Spirit's prompting to take note of all God provides (including your beautiful artwork and photos, Amanda!)
3. My husband, Dick, who is my soulmate, friend, cheerleader, lover, and warm embrace.
4. My kids and grandkids--who bring me joy and pride and heartache and laughter and tears--what a great bunch I am blessed with.
5. Blogging--God has used this medium to bless me in sooooooo many ways AND to pull me up and set my feet on the Rock again when I need it.
Thanks for the inspiration to think on these things, Amanda.
Merry Christmas!
Pam

ReplyDeleteCheers Hilary
love your challenge. :) i was just recently thinking about making wednesday the day of posting my own children drawings. I think it might be interesting to compare my art nowadays with how i used to paint, sketch and draw - i think children's drawings are so natural. and i thought it might be interesting to know what you think about this idea. maybe we could even work together on this project. so that we can link to each others posts. would love to hear from you.

Hey Jay, its definitely great to see how far we've come, I love looking in some of my early art journals and seeing the growth and sometimes change of direction. We will definitely have to put our heads together to see what ideas come up. Take care for now
Beautiful! I'm happy I have a good friend like you that brightens my world with wonderful photos and lovely sentiments! xXx
ReplyDeleteyep, on my journey there were definately a few change of direction. would love to see some early art works of yours.
ReplyDeleteElla, the feelings mutual, I get inspiration from your photographs as well, loving the ginger biscuitsxx
ReplyDeleteJay I will have to look through some of my earlier work, I did a lot of graphite work back then.

ReplyDeletegraphite works remind me of the street artists in europe drawing portraits of tourists for money.
