When I painted this I was thinking of this verse:
Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
but afterwards this verse felt better suited:
Psalm 42:7 Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.
6 Train a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22
I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. Psalm 63:4

A commissioned portrait wip–will be watercolor when finished.
A bit more finished than when I first made this post. Not there yet–still in progress but nearly there.
A test run for a possible illustration later on. This is much wider and more filled in than anything I have done up until now (unless you count the unicorn in a field of flowers that I did for a contest when I was in 4th grade and which got passed over for a prize because another kids mother was the judge of the contest and she picked HER child’s art. Stupid art contest. ;P) This isn’t exactly what I am going for but it gave me an idea of what I could accomplish if I went this direction.
More IF’s at Illustration Friday.
Yesterday at the park there was a little guy dressed in big boy clothes running around with his very proud parents. I couldn’t resist him with his little Nike shoes, camo pants, and big red ball.
When in a field of flowers choosing the best for a bouquet can be hard.
Took some photo-shopping to get the lighting and everything right (and it still isn’t right).
This was a fun one–very loosely based on a photo I took of my middle child sitting in a field of flowers (she was about 3). Did this sketch from memory.
