KEZIA-the spark & wonder!

This is my late, late entry into Sheila's Book, she has asked us to put anything we love besides art? My answer to this is children!

When in Church, I teach children Sunday School and I always love the look on their faces when they enjoy the lesson....


So I decided to give her one of the gifts God gave me, Kezia is my little baby daughter and she is a spark and wonder!


This was done with charcoal dust, water and graphite on a museum mount board.

AFRO XXXI for Dominique



This is Tiffany for AFRO XXXI. Dominique had trees, pathways etc as her theme but I couldn't resist giving her an AFRO SERIES because when she came to London she told me that Tiffany's hair also qualifies a an Afro, I did my research and she was spot on!

This is not the usual smiling "TF" but a serious one posed by me because I always mess up teeth. So I got her to profile a serious look, so I could capture her hair and natural beauty.


This was done with Oil base pencil, graphite and Charcoal dust.

Once more, apologies for the lateness.

AFRO XXXII for Michelle



This is my daughter Kezia- Michelle had postcards as her theme and nothing stuck to my mind than giving you my dear little precious princess!

This piece was done with oil base pencil, graphite and charcoal dust.

My apologies for another round of sickening lateness.

"Fab Four" Dean

Close up
This is mixed media. Acrylic washes used as watercolor...Tombow and Pitt Pens...graphite and colored pencil.. On watercolor paper.

I did this a few days ago for Liz Holm's collection. It was a joy to see her artwork on the decorated box containing the watercolor sheets. It was also a treat to see Adebanji's superb drawing! Liz's theme is portraits of any kind.

I decided to attempt an illustration of the Beatles..the Fab Four. I like doing star portraits because they are so recognizable. I enjoyed drawing stars from the movie mags as a youngster.

I tried to take the attitude of an illustrator for this one because I am fascinated by their work. I wanted to keep the colors more inventive as opposed to realism.

Get ready for it, Vern. It started on it's way to you on Thursday. Canada, here it comes!

DOMINIQUE EICHI

I'M RECEIVING


16  x  5.5   Graphite and Watercolor

This is for the book of Dana Cooper her theme is "Dreams" for
  The Flying Moleskins. I wrote on the previous page

..but there is a God in Heaven who reveals mysteries.
.., and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen. 

Daniel 2:28-29

I have revelatory dreams sometimes and can occasionally interpret someone else's. They can be magical moments.
