It's been a while since I started a new picture. Most of my energy has been going to be with Mom the last many weeks. Yesterday I decided it was time to start a new picture. I have several more lighthouses and ocean/beach scenes I'd like to do, but this one is venturing away from that and is a stream/waterfall picture.
The background is painted and ready to go.
The rocks I painted with Inktense Blocks (http://www.dickblick.com/products/derwent-inktense-blocks/) and clear Aloe Vera gel. The green is Inktense Blocks with water. The white water is acrylic (fabric) paint.
I did get a little TP work on the rocks started. I'm hoping this one will turn out great. It may end up being a practice picture, but that's okay, as with practice we get better and better!
Job update: We are still a bit 'up in the air'. The job at the retreat center is still a possibility but we would need to figure out how to get an income to pay our bills as the only thing offered is housing -- we would need either a part time job somewhere or get support money. In another year we could manage it on just DH's SS check, but that is a year away. We are going to look it over early next week, and continue to pray for guidance on this one.
I can't wait to see your finished rocks. Will be praying for your job opportunity.
ReplyDeleteBarb, I am going to be very interested in seeing this new piece your doing with paint, so far it looks awesome. As for your hoping to go to the retreat center. If its what you both want, I am so sure the doors will become opened up for you both. I am saying prayers for it to all be exactly what you want. That it comes to be.... and I know your going to go check it out Monday. I am going to be waiting to hear all about it. It does sound rather exciting and different... yet I can see you both there and happy. The prayers are happening here for you. Hugs Morgan oxoxoxoxo
ReplyDeleteThis is so serene, and yet intense, all at the same time. Can't wait to see it fully completed in all its detail...J
