What do you see

Sower and the Seed This painting illustrates the parable “The Sower and the Seed,” a teaching of Jesus recorded in the book of Matthew chapter 13. The four hearts in the sky represent four different responses of those who hear the Gospel message. The heart on the lower left represents those who have heard the gospel but reject it. The devil then comes and takes it away from their hearts. This is illustrated by the crows flying away with the seed that fell on the road side. The second heart on the upper left side of the sky represents those who receive the gospel message with joy, but it doesn’t take root in their faith, and their faith is temporal, falling away when trials or affliction come their way because of the gospel. This is illustrated by a grape vine withering away in the heat of the day due to a lack of a deep root system. The heart in the upper right corner of the sky represents those who received the gospel and believe, but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. This is illustrated by the grapevine being choked out by a purple, flower-bearing, climbing, strangling vine called, morning glory. These vines produce pretty flowers, but they are an organic farmer’s enemy because they will choke out his crops. I learned this firsthand in organic farming when I was a missionary for a couple of summers. The heart in the lower right corner of the sky represents those who hear, believe, and are committed to living for the gospel, so they produce much fruit. This is illustrated by a healthy, strong, fruit-bearing grapevine. The tilled field represents the world that God has prepared to receive the Gospel message. The sower represents all Christians that are commanded to go into the world and proclaim the gospel message. The seed being thrown by the sower represents the gospel message going out to the world. The seed bag has written on it, “The Word Seed Co.” (October 28, 2017)

"The rumor that Elory Andara, the firstborn of her parents, a descendant of one of the most powerful magic wielders of the continent, didn't have the Gift spread quickly, but it wasn't entirely true. Elory did have magic, but it was weak, almost non-existent. No matter how many times she tried, no matter how much she struggled, she could cast nothing but a weak spark." --- An illustration for a personal project

seeking my own style, looking towards fashion croquis. I hate the proportions, but the stylization is crazy unique

This is a drawing that I did for my cousin. It’s a drawing of her Palomino Quarter Horse. Done in pencil

Shadows follow but I will move on! I have PTSD, so I am tormented by my past. Anxious for what's behind me. But I won't let that stop me! I may have "Lead in my shoes" (Dutch "Lood in mijn schoenen"), sometimes feel empty while on other times I am red from anger, nothing will stop me moving on. There will be temporary throwbacks, progress is not linear, but I will get there. I won't drown in self-pity this time.

Hateful cowboy. At least he isn't arrogant

I realized lately that I need to practice more instead of focussing too much on new ideas. So I started with face-practicing since I enjoy that the most. Thank you very much for looking at my drawing!

Digital Sketch

Many of my paints are the leftovers from acrylic pouring. The colors are so pretty that I take pictures of them.

Life is a balancing act of family, work, friends, etc. I’m not so good at that stuff but here’s a bunch of flowers drawn with a 3776 Century SF, Shungyo edition. 2241 of 3776.

Hey, This is my very first post here. Dentistry is what I enjoy doing the most so here's a doodle dedicated to my profession

I'm really enjoying the good star wars content that we got lately, from respawn's Jedi: Fallen Order to the mandalorian and the rise of skywalker Hope you guys like this quick baby yoda drawing. Prints available on my inprnt: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/thegameworld/baby-yoda/

pen drawing, that's all I'm posting on here, pen drawings only. I abhor pencils.

The initial intent was to make a complete sketch with watercolor. But. I just couldn’t. (Made another sketch like that though)

New art supplies! Of course, I don’t need an excuse to get to work but if I had to pick a favourite then that’s my one, without a doubt.

I know that the river is a little off the perspective that the painting is done in, but everything else looks to scale.

The nice young chap that came to fit my new smart meters had the excellent surname of Boom. Wouldn’t want to say that too loud in an airport.

I decided to do this piece because one of my friends argued that bits aren’t invasive and horses enjoy the clear commands. I ride in a bit so if you are a rider and you use bits I’m in no way attacking you. I merely wanted to express that bits are painful and invasive to horses and how important it is to keep light hands and only pull on the reins when necessary.

Trees are kind of fun to draw, that's why I did another one over my lunch break.

Something a little different than my normal work. I just started a tattoo apprenticeship so I am learning to draw in traditional tattoo flash style. My old style of illustration work will not go anywhere. I am continuing that but just growing artistically and learning something new.

I used brush pen and watercolors. The most challenging part was holding back on excessive pen lines to render the fur, using patches of paint instead. Although I think the background is a bit dark and there a few mistakes, I feel that learned from this.

It’s impressive what a couple minutes abstract sketch is capable of. Ink (Pigma Graphic 1) and watercolor on plain paper.

Alien plant study - This became an experiment. At least I learned what works and what doesn't. Layers and layers of paint later... Feb. 13, 2020.

A few weeks ago I was playing around with color application on the default flat brush in Procreate, and developed a sort of choppy, layered application that I really enjoyed!
