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.

drawn on the ferry to Victoria. Quote is from a book my sister was reading, "Nineteen Minutes" by Jodi Picoult.

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.

tears to roses

idea from my head inspired by Skillet lyrics:

"Whispers In The Dark"

Despite the lies that you're making
Your love is mine for the taking
My love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses

I will be the one that's gonna hold you
I will be the one that you run to
My love is
A burning, consuming fire

[Chorus:]
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
Hear my whispers in the dark
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear my whispers in the dark

You feel so lonely and ragged
You lay here broken and naked
My love is
Just waiting
To clothe you in crimson roses

I will be the one that's gonna find you
I will be the one that's gonna guide you
My love is
A burning, consuming fire
