journal

Last night's Wednesday wind-down.

Day by day dear Lord, of thee these three things I pray: to see You more clearly, to love You more dearly, to follow You more nearly. Day by day. This is a hymn I hold dear to my heart, and sometimes I find myself unknowly humming to the tune as I go about my day! If you know this hymn, sing it! //There are 6 Sundays leading up to Good Friday. In observation of Lent, I will be posting 6 works inspired by the theme. This is for the 3rd Sunday of Lent.

Jacob named the place Peniel, "Because I have seen God face to face," he said, "yet my life has been spared."

Moments of reflection on scraps of paper.

Quick line portrait in my journal as I spice it up to receive daily musings.

All rights reserved. — Artwork was made using a black Sharpie marker, a Ranger white opaque pen, a Precise V5 Rolling Ball extra fine black pen, and a sheet of paper from a Moleskine journal. The piece was then copied in black and white using an HP copier. The artwork is inspired by “Beyond Waves & the Notion of Time,” my blog post about the importance of the journey: http://bit.ly/2Fs0au4.

I have been opening up my sketchbook, and drawing while not looking at my lines. I then color them in and add words for personal reflections.
