I've been checking out some art journaling websites and have decided to give it a try. Today was my first day. My pastor gave a really good sermon today....just what I needed to hear after a stressful week and it inspired my first page. I actually did a preliminary sketch as he was preaching.I plan to do as many days a week as I can. I'm not going to say everyday because I don't want to feel guilty if I miss one, but I'm going to try!
Pen/ink and watercolor on Arches 140lb CP 5"x7". I'm trying to not be really nuts about the writing...I have such sloppy writing that I need to work on it. I know I skipped a space on one of the words and the Scripture like is a little crooked going down the page, but who cares? Not me. I keep telling myself that!

Isaiah 49:15-16 is my favorite verse. I used it on my Confirmation stole in 9th grade. Made hands with red spots in the middle. If they could have been bigger, I would have put the figure of a person, or my name in the spot - just like you did.
It makes me think of writing notes on my hands in jr. high and high school. Kids would put assignments, names, phone numbers, dates - whatever. But what Jesus did was so much more amazing, and permanent.
I really like this watercolor.
I'm so glad you like it. It's one of my favorite verses too and Pastor Jim was just speaking to my heart that day. :)
