in a world

 We live in a world with an empty tomb.

Happy little trees...

I painted some "happy little trees" ...

This was done on one of those tiny little canvases. Do you think that I should make a few of these? Does anyone think they would sell?

Happy Little Cloud

I painted a happy little cloud...

Drifting away.

My first attempt at acrylic painting...

Sacrificial Love & Faithful Submission

New Cards

Here are a few new cards that I have doodled. Most of these happened in the last couple of weeks. The rocket ship one says, "... to the moon." on the inside. The one that says, "You're Beautiful... " says, "... to all eyes." on the inside. I also think that I am going to add, "Let's put down some roots." on the front of the card with the tree, that currently doesn't say anything.

I have also been making some mini-cards. They might work well for gift cards...

Well... now you know what I do when I am watching TV.

If you like any of these, they will soon be available for purchase at my mom's shop, The Weaver's Daughter, in Covington, IN.

Horton and The Who

One of my students kept asking me to draw them a picture of Horton. I have put her off for almost a year... oops... but last week was her birthday, so I finally complied and sketched her a picture of Horton and The Who...

New Tangles

My neighbor is an artist. A couple of days ago I saw some of her doodles, and it inspired me to try out a few new patterns.

some new artwork

Here are some of my more recent doodles. They are mostly in the form of blank cards and postcards. If you are interested in purchasing a card, or have a card that you would like me to make, just let me know.

Give me an "H"

Give me an "H"!

I was needing an "H" for a picture on the wall. My wife asked me to draw an "H" on a star, but I couldn't decide which one to do. So, here is a compilation of several different "H's" for her to choose from. The one I picked wasn't exactly like any of these... but was close to the one in the top right hand corner.

Hear... My Son...

Life is Tough
