Again as promised here is one of the pieces I finished while I’ve been sick.
I was talking to another old High School friend a few weeks ago and she commented that she really liked my “Echoed Thought” piece. Continue reading “Thursday Daydreams”

In the Beginning
As promised, here is one of the abstract paintings I did while I was sick.
The inspiration for this piece comes from the first few verses of Genesis chapter one.
The painting is called: “The Beginning of the Beginning.” and is painted on 8″ x 10″ canvas board.
Below are the verses for your reference.
Genesis 1: 1-9 (New International Version)
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
Check in tomorrow for the next piece.

In sickness & health
I hope this isn’t foreshadowing for the rest of 2009.
So where have I been you might ask…oh yanno sick.
After Christmas holidays I started feeling very lethargic.
No energy and no motivation.
So I spent my days off lounging around, reading, sleeping, knitting, watching anime all zero energy activities.
(wait days “off” you say? Yes, days off. I started working part time at the Dow Center ~ironically the same building that has the art gallery that is hosting my work in 2010~ as a Child minding attendant. I essentially help supervise and take care of kids 0-8yrs while their parents go about stuff there ie: the Gym/Fitness Center/Theater/Physio/etc …did I mention it’s a big building?)
Anyway
Then my lungs started acting up like someone was squeezing them shut, that’s when I dug out my inhalers.
One morning I woke up with cough and assumed I had caught a chest cold.
So I started my cold routine.
I made my ginger honey lemon tea, had foods with lots of garlic and other beneficial herbs and tried to get lots of rest.
But alas 2 weeks later it still hadn’t cleared so come Sunday morning after being up every 2 hours coughing we went to the Hospital to get checked.
They of course, only confirmed what I had already assumed.
I had gotten a bad case of Bronchitis.
Blah, so now I’m doing a week of penicillin with the hopes that it will finally be purged from my system.
Needless to say my creativity’s been a bit low.
But I still managed to pull off 4 paintings in that time.
Today’s piece is “Believe in Me”
It is an 11″ x 15″ watercolor word art commission that I received over the Christmas holidays from an old High School friend back home.
She selected the words and requested it be done with a father, son and pregnant mother as she is soon expecting her second child.
Well that’s it for today.
Check in tomorrow when I’ll be posting 1 of 2 completely abstract paitings.
Cheers,
A
