I mentioned in my Canaletto post that I would be doing something a little bit different in the future (meaning now).
Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. From now until Easter I will be fasting from Facebook, reading through the New Testament, and completing a 40 Day Drawing Challenge.
Here you will find my updates about what God is teaching me and how I am growing spiritually and artistically.
So here goes:
Day 1
I read through Mathew 1-7 Mainly focusing on the Beatitudes. I decided that for the most part I will be using my often wasted time on the bus to complete this part of my challenge since it is a way for me to focus on God early in the morning before my day really gets going.
Second, I learned that I spend more time than I thought on Facebook. Not that I am constantly using it, but I do have it running in the background a lot. Instead, I used the time I am usually on to do some reading and have a better conversation with my friends.
Third. I drew one of my least favorite things - well. The thing I hate to draw the most. :)
Day one of my challenge was a self portrait. And finding myself with an abundance of time (no Facebook again) I did a second fun picture on the bus ride home:
Personally, I think it looks more like me when it is upside down...
This would be an excellent point to comment on because I would love to see what everyone else thinks :)
And here is the fun one that I did later on:
Not quite as detailed... But I really don't like drawing my face :)
Please vote on which one you like more!
Soli Deo Gloria
