children

It's little Saint Therese! Whenever we get overwhelmed by the troubles of life, let us remember to be little! Yes, little children of God, dependent on the Father and filled with divine love and trust. Sometimes I feel like I can only do the little things with great love because when you suffer from depression (did you know she suffered from it too?) the little things become great heroic acts for you to do! Yet to the outsider, they say, well he is doing nothing. However it's the greatest thing! I must decrease and Christ must increase. I am nothing and God is the one who is All. So when I do my little nothing things but I do them with and in Christ they become resplendent! In the divine will those little things become divine acts that will shine for us in Heaven! God is so good! ^_^ #Therese, #Saint, #sttherese, #stthereseoflisieux, #little, #littleway, #spiritualchildhood, #divinewill, #depression, #divine, #resplendent, #shiny, #shine, #Heaven, #Catholic, #Christian, #Christianity, #France, #HistoryofFrance,

This is Ralph. Ralph is too busy taking care of his higher self to be scared of diversity. Be like Ralph. See that we are more alike than different. Ink and charcoal on paper // 7 x 10 in // 2017

Child Jesus loves you! Jesus likes every now and then to appear in child form in order to teach us many things and relate with us. To remember to be little and rely on God our father. ^_^ He's levitating and his robe is long so you can't see his lil feet. I made this sketch awhile back but like a lot of things now I decided to color it. Digital color makes things pop! #jesus, #catholic, #christian, #littleness, #little, #spiritualchildhood, #childhood, #kid, #children, #child, #sketch, #digitalcolor, #childjesus, #sacredheart.

It's the young little St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows! This is who our Brother Gabriel takes his name after. The book is the Passion, he is a Passionist after all. :P Some qoutes: “Our perfection does not consist of doing extraordinary things but to do the ordinary well” “With sin, O Jesus, I gave you the death, but I do not despair of your forgiveness. Those scourges call me, those arms extended invite me, that injured Heart offers me a secure shelter.” “. . . fidelity in little things must be the basic rule in striving for holiness,” St. Gabriel, pray for us! #Catholic, #Christian, #Gabriel, #Saint, #Passion, #Passionists, #Littleness, #Cartoon

A children's book that will probably never actually exist.

A friend's children painted a canvas I gave them and I painted them into it. The fun messy doodle background is 90% theirs. I added a few streams to pop out some of the shapes they painted. I might do this as a series.

Procreate exercise that ended up turning into a print idea. Whales are amazing!

"When Desiderio mentioned Bluesky to me, he used the oxymoron beauty and fragility and here I was immediately reminded of the essay of the same name by Daniel Mendelsohn. This immediately brought to mind Daniel Mendelsohn's essay of the same name, which in turn was taken from a scene caption in Tennessee Williams' The Glass Zoo." Chiara Canali

I really like Pomeranians. They're small, cute, and gutsy! Might as well make them into a Cerberus.

Canvas oil painting with love!!

After a long day, it's pretty exciting to go home. Especially in the company of my closest friends, promising each other that tomorrow will be a better day.

Come away, O human child to the waters and the wild, with a fairy hand in hand, for the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.

I think for a lot of us, the pandemic has redefined what the definition of “staying at home” means. It has been a struggle navigating the new definition of “home” and the space that “home” occupies in our lives.
