Current work - Faith, Hope & Charity.

I am very excited about this one and it has many incantations...it may even get another. I will try to post regularly.

The beginings

Current Work - "the rainbow picture"

This shows the progression of the work quite nicely. It is very seldom that I take photos at various stages of the progression.

This is almost complete now!  Just a few more details....like the hair and faces. Yes,  I have been avoiding the faces as I am not very with them as they are.  Expect changes.

Service

I am planning a short talk on "Service" and came across this great site.....

12. Offer Help – If you reach out to help others, you transform yourself from victim to survivor. People who have tasks and responsibilities to do during a disaster have a higher survival rate than those who don’t. If you don’t have an assigned task, helping others, even in small ways, increases your survival chances. Just offering a stabilizing shoulder can be enough. Give yourself some small responsibility if there’s no one to help. That responsibility can help you survive in the face in amazingly bad odds.

I really like this for the WIIFM (What's In It For Me) section. Helping others is usually beneficial for the helper.

Basic drawing apps

I have been having fun doing a doodle a day on the iPhone.

These are some of the results.

Louise Parker illustrations

I have just seen one of Louise's pictures published in a magazine and I am so excited about seeing the next one in April.

I love the stylized figures and the detail. It is also has gentle humour.

This is a very small sample of her work. I hope you enjoyed it.
