Chalkboard Sketch: Surrender

I've had this idea in my head for a year (ish) now, and I'm finally sketching it out. I've just begun working on the "real" version, which will likely be rectangular.

This piece is about surrendering my desires, letting them drift away, and trusting them to God.

This is the last painting I did for my university before graduating. All my "important" projects were out of the way, so I wanted to have fun with this one. I tried to be quick and loose and not hold anything "too precious," as my professor would say. In the end this was one of my favorites.

I painted this from a picture of my beautiful friend, Nicole, while we were spending time with friends in Ouray, CO.

Sweet Child

````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

This summer I went to southeast asia with some good friends of mine. Among other things, we were able to visit a few orphanages. We met amazing people and played with many little kids who were starving for some one-on-one time with someone who cared.

A sketch from a picture that I took of this precious one at a Catholic orphanage.

Before the Dawn

Woodblock with ink, 2x4'

This is a 3/4" piece of birch plywood that I etched, then rolled with ink and pressed on paper to create a print. Normally, this woodblock is not considered to be the art piece itself, but the means to put the art onto the paper. Personally, I usually prefer the wood itself to the print.

This woodblock is also a companion piece to my painting, Awakening.

A portrait of one of my best and longest friends. This was a project that I got to do just for fun in one of my painting classes last semester.
