Gaze

a very quick sketch of a girl that i tried painting but im not a fan of the painting so unless i am sometime inspired to fix the painting i wont post it...
that is all
peace.

Danielle

here's a quick sketch of my lil sister Danielle...she is very sketchable :) so iv done quite alot of drawings of her..She looks rather Hawiian in the picture eh?
but shes not...she's Jamaican/Canadian
Cheers to Jamaicans and Canadians...and especially JamiaCanadians
:)

Traytin

So here is another portrait....Its supposed to be my little bro Traytin...it sort of resembles him :D next time i draw him i have faith it will look even more like him since practice makes perfect
i also tried painting this picture but its not finished yet..or at least, im not happy with it yet so yeah i may post the painting at some later date.
cheers! 


p.s. I just want you all to know that when i critique my art on here it is not because i have an inferiority complex  or that i'm begging for compliments but...just tell me that its good okay!!! Pleeeeeeaase say that my drawing doesnt suck!!! 
lol just joking! :D no no its just that i'm going to be posting lots of portrait sketches. I will say this for them, they all look like a person! You can tell that they are a human being but they don't always look like the person they are supposed to look like. And i'm working on getting it so that they do look exactly like the person they're supposed to look like. So if you see a mistake that keeps getting made or if you notice anything that looks extremely off in the sketch feel free to tell me and i shall try and avoid it on the next drawing. :) 
The reason i'm doing all this practice on portraits is because i want to learn how to paint people, but i figure i first should get really good at drawing them....and well its also because people are so interesting to draw:) 
k enough rambling for today:)  

thoughtful?

soo this is a random sketch of a girl that i drew for practice at portrait drawing...i hate her mouth...just saying:D
but im to lazy to change it...
lately iv been wanting to get better at drawing faces so in the last two days iv drawn around 10 portraits...or something..
and i'll post them eventually

Noses are becoming my favorite thing to draw which is weird because they used to be my most hated thing...:D lol random piece of info for you...

k aaanyway i shall go back to drawing more portraits now
bye <3

Sad

hi people...
This is a drawing i drew quite awhile ago, after the earthquakes in Haiti....i never considered the drawing finished which is why i never posted it before...but it has sat without any more work on it for so long that im posting it now in its unfinished condition...
There's alot of sadness in the world...i hope i can do my part to elevate some of it.
Reminder to self - Don't forget to pray for the suffering.

Sketches

Two quick random sketches...
and i have no inspirational words for you'all today...really i'v got nothing to say...sniffle
the extreme heat of the day just sucked up all my inspiration...
but i hope everybody is having a wonderful summer!
if your not...start! right now!
... that's an order...
peace <3

Black and white

Hi guys:)
here is a painting i painted for my forever friend Kate for her 18th birthday.. *I'm so blessed to have you in my life Kate:)*

the painting was done in oil...something id never tried before...I found that i quite like oils! aside from the fact that they take like 3 weeks to dry and even then their not dried completely! the flowers are actually painted with acrylics cause i didn't have the time to wait for them to dry too because i had to send the painting across the ocean blue.

<3

Freedom

Here is a mixed media painting that i did for this beautiful poem that my dear friend wrote. It meant alot to me so i wanted to have it on canvas and thus this painting came out.
random fact: the blue paint is metallic and shiny but its not really noticeable except in real life.

eyes

Hi guys! its been awhile since iv posted and my excuse is that i am currently working on 5 paintings...i had a burst of inspiration for a bunch of paintings and just couldn't wait until i was done one before starting new ones...i was scared the inspiration would leave ya know...
anyway one of my dear friends named Mojo wanted me to teach her how to paint and i agreed to try although teaching has never been my forte..so since she wanted to paint eyes that's what we did! i painted step by step and she watched and copied what i did and i would show her painting instead of mine but she took it home..
i'm at a lost of what to do next in this teaching experience :/

Little boy blue

here's another sketch i did in ink while my mind was occupied with other things...
And here is some quotes from StoryPeople that i enjoy:)

thinking this is some sort of harvest festival
he doesn't really believe in but he'll take an excuse 
to dress up & and act like somebody different for a change.

In those days
we finally chose
to walk like giant 
& hold the world 
in arms grown strong with love
&and there may be many things we 
forget in the days to come,
but this will not be one of them


I've always thought I was taller than I looked, 
she said, but that belief is not without difficulties


He tapped his fingers on the table.
The way I see it, he said,
I either need to find a bigger challenge
or i need to start drinking decaf

Floating through the sky

here are some sketchy sketches that i idly drew while vaguely occupied with other things....
everything that floats up into the beautiful sky is quite enchanting to me...bubbles and balloons and dandelion fluff
even if something like...a sofa, started floating i would sit there and stare with happy and wondering eyes:D
everything that is, except things that splat and cause unpleasantness :)
lol
k peace<3

Come?

He said "Come."
At that word my soul gave a happy little skip but Alas! my flesh had quite a different reaction. Down to my toes my stomach plunged and with a wild leap my heart was in my throat making my startled exclamation come out in a stifled squeak. For past his outstretched hand i saw many many things, uncomfortable things. There were distant foreign lands, groups of unknown people, many of who seemed to be in pain...gruesome pain. It made me feel a little sick and all the more frightened. There were many things i saw but the scariest was the fuzzy unknown things, the unknown future.I knew of course that the future is always hidden but those blurry visions did not look at all like what i had carefully planned for my future. I turned my eyes toward his kind and oh so gentle ones.
I stuttered, "But...but you..you want me to follow you there? But what if...what if i should catch some horrible disease? For it is all so dirty and unsafe! but worse than that, worse than and bodily harm...what if i go and they hate me? you know yesterday with those kids...how could you expect me to hang out with them? I am quite shy you know and what should i have said? I didn't know them you see. They might have laughed at my stumbling words. And another thing...you know how i should like to give you my everything,earthly goods and all, but i feel so poor already. If i gave it all to you, how would i pay for college...and everything else? i know you say you will provide everything i need but...will you??"
my voice broke off and i wrung my hands. The worries, doubts and fears still racing through my mind. He just stood there while behind him flashed all the alarming things.
Again he said, "Come..." this time even more softly. Again my soul gave that absurd little jump. My soul's excitement caused my feet to take one involuntary step forward. But much too fast my flesh wrestled back control and the next thing i knew i was cowering behind the couch.
"Okay, this is just silly!" my soul huffed in annoyance.
"No its not!" my flesh replied, "didn't you see all that stuff??"
"Oh come on! You know He says all the time not to be afraid,be of good courage, i will take care of you." my soul countered.
"Yes!...but...Oh will he? Oh if only i could be for certain..." i chewed my fingernails nervously.
"You can be for certain! Do you not trust him?"
"Yes but..."
"Oh of course! always the 'but' must come into play! The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." my soul said bitterly.
"Oh dear!" i sighed heavily,  "if only i could shake this fear."
There came a faint whisper, "Ask him to borrow you courage. You can't do this on your own.Give him control."
My eyes brightened and my soul clapped
"What a splendid idea!' My soul and body said in unison. I peeked over the couch and there he stood with infinite patience.
"Could i...could i borrow some courage? a large dose please? and would you mind taking this fear?" I asked.
"Of course my child! i was wondering when you'd ask" He replied with a smile. He carefully lifted my fears and threw them far, ever so far away and then he wrapped my heart with courage and strength. When he was done he looked at me again with a twinkle in his beautiful eyes, "Come?"
I smiled and linked my arm in His.

When you follow Him it won't be safe and comfortable, on the contrary it will be rather alarming at times and very unsafe by human standards. Its crazy really, how safe you'll feel in the most unsafe circumstances.

P.s the painting is for sale: 11in by 14in acrylic on canvas...it was done impressionist style for school.

Eiffel tower

heres a really quick painting i did...i spent barely any time on it at all...i just  wanted to paint the Eiffel tower only i didnt feel like taking the time...lol so thus the slightly lopsided tower:)
someday i hope to actually tour Paris instead of just sitting in the airport the whole time im there..
someday...

Circus girl

colorful art erupts
           unbelievable stunts
so much to see! 
 transported to a world of the impossible
           lights
humor
   sparkling all around
gasp!
     how did they do that?
          strange animals parade through
elaborate costumes everywhere
     much clapping
  eyes wide!
      the circus is in town!
   
This girl was not intended to be a circus girl...i just let the brush go were it would and this is what came to be... i looked at the painting half way through and saw it had 'circus' written all over it and thus finished it with that in mind :)

This painting is dedicated to my friend trish due to the little black teardrop (ps its a inside joke/memory :D)  <3 <3

Melted Crayons

The other day i did art with some school kids and this is what we did:) We melted crayons onto canvas! yay! Was great fun! Im quite in love with all the pieces, for the bright colors are quite enchanting:)
