this is really not my first ever painting. i took a painting class in college and really sucked at it. but here's one i did - inspired by a vision that I had & sketched in my journal - and found out later that night that a kid in the youth group had the same vision.

interperet as you wish :)

it's acrylic paints & china marker (aka grease pencil) on MDF

Forever Amazing

this is a worship song i wrote a while back

May my life become
A discovery of what
You have done for me

Never Ending
Forever amazing, Lord
What You have done for me


A new creation now is here
The veil's been torn I see You
Clear and beautiful
Just like You have always been

The old is gone and passed away
I see the light of a new
Day and I just drift away
With you again


And may my purpose be
To lay here at Your feet
Falling in love with You

It's where I find my need
Just right here at Your feet
Falling in love

(repeat chorus)



I'm not sure how the cadence will translate here. I was just thinking about the song today and thought I'd share.

Something different...



so.. here it is (click on it to open it in a new window)

Alright. Here goes nothing. I decided to post something other than my writing...

It's a collage in a page of a book I've been altering. It's my favorite one and my first attempt at this kind of art. The title is "Affaires de Coeur" - if you look real close, the only text that hasn't been painted over is that phrase.

Materials:
  • acrylic paints
  • glass slides
  • copies of photos
  • fibers
  • beads
  • a skeleton key
  • brass wings
  • copper tape
  • laser photocopies of words
  • gel medium to stick everything together.

I also used a heat transfer technique to get the word "bliss" on the woman... fun stuff....

Well, if anyone is still paying attention I've finally gotten around to making a contribution (thanks to the scanner/printer I got for Christmas). Maybe another medium will jumpstart some activity around here.

I took this photo about 1 1/2 years ago and developed it myself in the darkroom. I like it, but you don't have to, I won't cry...and if I do you don't have to feel bad because I'll lie about it and you'll never know...so let me know what you think! :)

I haven't been around here at all lately. I guess I'm not the only one. I was hoping that this place would serve as a spur in my creative ass. But no dice. I don't think it's the place as much as I have reeeeaaaaally thick skin on my creative ass and it takes a hard spurring to get me moving.

I wouldn't give up hope for this thing. There's bound to be more dedicated people in this group than I.

a word from the front office

just so it's official, interest has been tailing off in the past while and i've been busy so i'm thinking this is over for right now. i'm always happy to do what little i can to foster creativity so any further submissions or ideas are welcome.
