This could be my last …

 My Last Saints on 7.25 x 9.75 paper?

Saint Dymphna 

It brings me great sadness that I must abandon this project with this last piece of Saint Dymphna. The last 'Saint on 7.25 X 9.75 Paper' - I had high hopes that I could finish all fifty-two drawings, but as I shuffled through my folder I discovered only one page left that measured 7.25 by 9.75 inches, it is the one you see below, Saint Dymphna.

• Patron saint of the mentally ill

But I will continue … only it'll be different size paper.

I'll have to use 7 X 10, only a tiny difference of 0.6875 inches in area. - They won't take as long!

More Envelopes

Envelope Painting

Here are a few more envelopes

A smell this envelope with a lotus flower painted on. The flower didn't turn out how I liked so I added a message to cancel out the perfection.

A little chickadee watercolor.

A blue jay, this was my first envelope bird.

A cardinal.

This is my favorite in this series, a can of Bush's Original Baked Beans. I might have to do a larger version of this.

I hope you enjoyed these envelopes.

 

Saint Benedict with Video!

- Father of Western Monasticism

-Saint Benedict of Nursia-

I've finished letter B, next I will jump to letter D, with Saint Dymphna and Saint Dominic, as I have already done the C's. I like to jump around the alphabet, just to confuse people that like orderly fashions. Isn't it boring if everything is in line, perfect, and in an order that pleases you.  Never in real life is there perfect order and reason for things - same goes for this series, whatever letter I feel like doing next will be the one - F doesn't have to come after E.

-     Here is the finished drawing done in colored pencil on 7.25" X 9.75" paper. I have updated the page, "Saints on 7.25 X 9.75 Paper."

I have also recorded this drawing as I drew, the video is down below. I have had many requests to do another time lapse video from my many followers, so here it is, maybe I will record the rest of this series.

Finally back to my alphabet series

Saint Barbara

I like to call this series, 'Saints on 7.25 X 9.75 Paper', but, 'The Alphabet Series' works just as well. The last ones I did were all the way back in August! St. Agnes and St. Anthony. But I'm back with the series. I hope you enjoy following along with me as I draw the saints from A to Z.

My sister, Miss K is SUPPOSED to be doing biographies on all of these drawings in this series, but she is a little behind.

 So just a little information I found on St. Barbara,

-born mid-third century in Heliopolis, Phoenicia.

-after Barbara became Christian, denouncing her father's Pagan beliefs, her father got angry and she was tortured.

-She later was beheaded by her father and became a martyr.

The Next Saint will be St. Benedict

I will have the A's done, the B's done, and the C's done. But there is only one problem - there is only enough paper to do Saint Benedict and one of the D's. - It may be awhile until I finish this series!
