Thank you, Onesiphorus!

 

I picked up my paintings today at the Chambersburg Hospital gallery space.  Happily, I sold several pictures!!  Lately, self doubt had set up camp in my mind artistically speaking and I definitely needed some refreshing.  Here's my Onesiphorus (Dr. Brown) holding one of his new pieces.  (See 1Timothy 1:16)

Let's find ways to encourage each other as we walk life's path. You never know who might need the refreshing a kind word can bring.

Mixed Media Piece--- Primeval

This piece won first in mixed media for me at the Franklin County Art Alliance Show last week.  It was a collagraph print that I flipped over, sewed on, and drew on with graphite.  It was interesting how the graphite picked up the embossed texture of the collagraph print.  I used different colored thread in my sewing machine in mostly neutral colors.  Overall image size is about 16 by 20. 

 This is another collagraph print with stitching that I call "Cross Circuit".  I used the sewing to add small torn bits from other prints.  It reminded me of a circuit board from electronics and also the orderliness and perfection of God's grace in the midst of chaos.
