So, I know I've been a little . . . absent . . . over the past four months. Sorry. I've been busy. Busy in ways that I don't have time or energy to go into detail about right now. Soon, I promise.
Until then, I thought I'd talk a little about a new personal project I'm going to be working on. Starting in January I've been a part of the prayer room my church started here in Houston. Through this whole experience I've been learning more and more about prayer and worship and art . . .
Anyway, all that's the subject of a later post. Suffice to say, I'm wanting to find out what my role in this whole experience can look like and what art in worship looks like. I'm working behind the scenes, and there's not much opportunity for me to enter into worship, but there's nothing that prevents me from taking the thoughts I have during the set and doing something with them later. So, I've proposed this personal project to take those ideas and words and thoughts and turn them into a painting. I'll start with phrases, verses, words and pictures that come to me during the set, I write them down in my sketchbook - what you see up there on the left hand page. Those get turned into thumbnails and I take the one I like the best and do a 5x8 sketch on the righthand page. I'll work on the sketch till I feel like it's done, post the final here on Tuesday. Wednesday through Friday, I'll take the sketch edit it a bit in photoshop and print it out on watercolor paper. Painting will be small, no bigger than 9x12, which I'll post (hopefully) by EOD Friday. So yeah, I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm just throwing things out there and seeing what happens!
Here's the first piece!
Also, I'll be at Spectrum Live in Kansas City this year . . . at a booth. Yeah, so that happened. More on that next time . . .
