flickering

felt marker

Sketch from church a few weeks ago. Object lesson involving an electric contraption with light bulbs that would turn on and off and at varying brightness, depending which switches were flicked. Used as a metaphor for one's spiritual walk. Perhaps most of the time only one light is on, and barely flickering. Sometimes more lights are on. Spiritual walks have ups and downs, as does life.

sketching in Stanley Park. I biked around the outside of the park, it was beautiful! Took me a long time cuz I stopped to take pictures and/or draw.

This was sketched on one of the "back trails" that went by a lake in the park. There were a bunch of swans swimming there, and one of them came right up to where I was sitting and stayed there, like they were posing for me! It was pretty cool. Eventually it figured out that I didn't have any bread or food to give it, so it swam away.

a guy playing cello in the public market on Granville Island. I initally sat down at a table where I was in front of the guy and had a good view of the cello, and I was like, "cool, I can draw the curvy cello shape!" but then apparently somebody else was "sitting there" but they did not have their bum in a chair. But I moved anyway. Thus, you get "behind the cello dude" view.

pronghorn

gouache on paper

I did a stylized drawing of a pronghorn for a stained glass pattern I'm doing for my mom. I did a few variations and decided to try painting the one I liked the best, just for fun. I liked the way it turned out!

notes/sketch from one of the lent services at church. Mystery moment was focussing on praying for the circle of people you know, and then expanding your circle from there. I drew the rosary first, and then decided to pray for people as I colored in the beads.
