Here is the original from my journal.
Here is the one I photoshopped and posted.

Please comment.
I love seeing how I can take my work from my sketchbook, photograph it, load it into my computer, completely transform it, and then upload it to an audience I would never be able to reach if it were not for the blog. Having my blog as my virtual gallery really makes me feel like an artist.
Neat.
I find it odd that you do not consider yourself an artist when you have these wonderful pen and ink drawings throughout your sketch book. I consider myself an artist and I don't even HAVE a sketchbook.
ReplyDeleteWhat, in your mind, makes someone an artist? Someone with creativity? check--you've got it. Someone with an artistic style? check--you've got it. Someone with talent? check--you've got that, too.
In MY mind, I consider you an artist.
Yeah, you are an artist.
ReplyDeleteI love the image and I love the text, but I don't feel much of a connection between them. The verse is about Christ being rooted in our hearts, that he will keep us strong, and the image is of a bird on a branch. Am I missing the connection?
@ Sheila and Laura: you are both too kind. I consider myself more of an amateur than an artist... I am technically skilled but my imagery is trite. More like art for inspirational cards?
ReplyDelete@ Lauara: You know.. now that you say it I can see where there is a disconnect between "rooted" and a branch... I was thinking it simply as the branch is part of a tree and a tree has roots.
