I'm frustrated. I like the outline of the boy, the contouring. But the face...ehhh frustrated. frustrated.

hmmmm....All along I've been thinking I would put vellum over part of the drawing and then redraw the child on top. I wanted to draw everything first and see how I felt. I'm convinced. I'll play with the vellum tomorrow. It should reinforce the ledge line and push the top of the father figure back some.

well, the child looks creepy right now...that will change. I'll do my best to keep from looking like the little boy from the Grudge movie. I'm a little disappointed I didn't make more progress today...

I have begun a new series. Well, it's a triptych. I've recently finished a great little book titled: Sit, Walk, Stand, by Watchman Nee and I loved it. I will do a piece based on each part of the book. This pic is the progress of "Sit". The book is a short comprehensive (oxymoron?) study of the book of Ephesians in the Bible (too many prepositional phrases) I'm rereading the book as a draw. The Sit section has had the largest impact on me. Christianity begins with a big "DONE". "We began our Christian life by depending not upon our own doing but upon what he had done. Until a man does this he is no Christian." (p.15) Anything we do as a Christian always begins with a resting in God. "Sitting" is an attitude of rest. Our given position in Christ is with Christ seated at the right hand of God. Ephesians 1:17-21 and 2:6-9 There's a mystery and a wonder to such a precious perspective.
