Little Watercolor Garden

A recent page from one of my art journals.

LITTLE GARDEN - VISONS OF SPRING

“The Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your soul in drought ….  You shall be like a watered garden.”  Isaiah 58:11

My Response to “Art From God’s Word” Prompt

I’ve shared on here about creating a new Facebook group called “Art From God’s Word.” Twice a month, we have a scripture prompt, and each member then creates a work of art inspired by that scripture. We can use any medium we choose, and this time around I chose watercolor and ink.

The prompt was 1 Peter 4:8: “Above all keep fervent in your love for one another because love covers a multitude of sins.”

‘Dare To Be Different’ Christmas Card Series

My brand new Christmas card series “DARE TO BE DIFFERENT CHRISTMAS’ debuted this week at a holiday craft fair near my hometown. I’ve created scores of Christmas themed cards in the past, but last year, for some reason, I didn’t do anything new. However, this year, I just couldn’t resist something a little “out-of-the-ordinary.” I created three new designs featuring my watercolor and acrylic paintings. So I thought I’d share pictures of the fronts, along with the inside sentiments.

Also, I’m thinking about getting set up to sell my greeting cards online after the first of the year. I’d appreciate hearing from any of you out there who have online marketing experience. Do you have any advice — pro or con — about the different kinds of marketing venues such as E-Bay, Etsy, Personal E-Commerce Sites, etc.?

Hope you enjoy these three new designs. They were really fun to make.

Merry Christmas!

Abstract Greetings

These are two of my newest greeting cards — somewhat abstract in nature. Actually, they don’t look as good on here as they do in “real life,” but I like to post them anyway, because sharing what I’m creating helps keep me in the creative flow even when other things press me for time and energy. I got a kick out of creating both of them, so I hope you get an equal kick out of seeing them.
