Loch-Nessie

"Loch-Nessie" is actually a study of the "Crumpled Paper Challenge" from Daily Paintworks.  This particular "monster" had a model which was a brown paper bag from a sandwich shop, and I tore it into uneven three pieces.  After that, I twisted and formed them into the image close to what I wanted of them.  The main reason why I am finding intriguing about the Lochness Monster is that "she" arches her body both above and beneath the water's surface.  Yes, I did see many programs including "Unsolved Mysteries" on television regarding this particular "beast" and her sightings...

Green Apple In Red Lunch Box

"Green Apple In Red Lunch Box" is from the "Pare Down Apple Challenge" that must be painted with the least amount of paint strokes.  I consider myself blessed to have taken a summer course on tole painting when I was still a teenager in the 1970's.  This type of painting method made it more simpler and enjoyable.
I also started to do "finger-painting" on the red lunch box to make the colors and folds to "pop" out more in this picture.

Remember Trayvon

 "Remember Trayvon" is an unusual Easter Challenge entry for me as well anybody else to enter since this actually a tragedy that happened to a seventeen-year-old male that made national news.   This egg gift contains a bag of Skittles candy, pop candy, stickers for the egg, and not-to-forget a Gospel tract.  You may wonder why a Gospel tract.  Yes, I can tell you why I want to put a Gospel tract in this egg gift is that Jesus came to die on earth for our sins so that we can one day spend with Him in Heaven.  This tract mentions about the Gift called  Salvation which is available for everybody - especially to those who will accept it.  It is a real concern of mine about Trayvon and other youths who gets both shot and killed where they spend Eternity.   Now, this is our responsibility to both live as a good example and tell them about Jesus, and this "Special Gift" called Salvation.

Eeney-Meeney-Miney-Mo

 
Do you remember the times when you said "Eeney-Meeney-Miney-Mo, catch a person by the toe.  If he hollers, let him go.  My mother told me to pick the best one."  Well, one day this past week, I was in a convenience store staring at the doughnuts and other pastries stored in a lit showcase while picking out which one that I wanted the most.  Then again, I both stared and glanced at those doughnuts and trying to decide by saying  "Eeney-Meeney-Miney-Mo".   Needless to say, I did not purchase anyone of them because I told myself that I need anyone of these doughnuts like I do a hole in my head.  Well anyway, I did want to get at least an idea of what I wanted to paint.
