Our Lady of Guadalupe

 From Awhile Ago

I finished this picture awhile ago, but didn't get around to posting it. Hope you like it. This is a drawing of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Mary appeared to Saint Jan Diego in Mexico on the Hill of Tepeyac. His tilma is displayed in Mexico City. My drawing below is supposed to look similar to the tilma of Jan Diego's.

I drew this one on a 14 x 17 inch piece of paper with some thin tip pen's. If you look close I mainly used a stoke of the pen in a series of lines and cross hatchings to get the desired shading.

Thank you for Viewing!

What should I draw next? There might be a prize for the winner of the best Idea - If there are enough ideas?

Happy Easter!

 Easter Is Still Here!

It is the 14th day in the Easter season and I have finally finished my egg painting. This year I chose to do a painting of Napoleon Crossing the Alps.

Here is the original. And below is the egg painting.

It's a little difficult to tell what is painted on it with the curve of the egg, but if you see it in person - you see it in person!

Thank you for viewing the egg.

I'll have more art work coming!

Coloring Contest

 Take a Gander

I recently did a coloring contest and wanted to post it here so all can see. It is based on one of Ezio Anichini's Loreto illustrations, titled "Mater Amabilis" (Latin for "Mother Most Amiable").

The contest was hosted by a catholic artist, Delphina Rose Art. I ended up using Prismacolors and some other brand of coloring pencils that I can't remember the name of right now.

Please let me know your thoughts below, and thanks again for coming to view my art,

Thank You!

See you Until the next post!

Another Fire Art

 Washington Crossing the Delaware

Although there is speculation on Washington's crossing and of the reality of the painting, I say its just a work of art depicting a true historical event. With that I bring you my second piece of fire art on this blog.

This time I added some color with water colors. I didn't have a large enough piece of wood to fit the whole scene so I at least got the important people person - Washington in there. No, I'm sure the others helped out a lot as well. It's not like Washington is paddling anyway. He just stands in the middle of the boat - what is he doing anyway. Everyone is hard at work paddling or trying to keep the country's flag upright in rough conditions, ice and snow and wind and there is the leader just standing there in the middle of the boat - wouldn't it be really unstable with a couple of men standing up? It also looks like there are way too many people piled in the boat. The front guy's legs are hanging out.

Well, anyway here it is - 

Thank you for reading this post and viewing my fire art of Mr. Washington and his boat ride across the Delaware.

And before you go please read one of George Washington's quotes!
