Drama in the Ordinary...

So my new painting project is to find drama in the ordinary. To find beauty, interest, stillness, drama, anything in the everyday world. So this was alittle complicated for me. I could not for the life of me figure out something that was drama in the ordinary and something i want to paint for a month, and still be me. But i took some of my pretty little paper boats and put them out in the ordinary to create drama and these photos are what my squishy brain and camera came up with:
this one is a picture of my brother Ben hangin and let me tell you he is pretty dramatic!!

This photo is the one that was chosen for my Drama in the Ordinary painting. I just love this photo Ben's are was also supplied for the photo. I love all the photos! I'm not half bad! So enjoy and go out in the world and see what drama in the ordinary and take some AWESOME pictures!!!

The Steve Malick Memorial Golf Tournament

Steve Malick is a man that i have known my whole life. He worked with my dad for LCSA for more than 20 years. Steve Malick was a good and funny man that lead a interseting life. Last year he passed away. This year my dad, some people from his work , and Steve's family started a memorial golf tournament in his name. The money form the entrys to the tournament will go to a scolarship in Steve's name to help a student go to college. As a contribution to this wonderful cause i drew a golf picture of a man on a course at sunset. Its a beautiful picture. The picture will be presented to Steve's sister at the lunch after the tournament. Which i am attending.

I know this sounds depressing. But really its not. He was a good man and would love the fact that he gets to be a reason for all his work friends to take off work to golf. I love that i was able to do a beautiful piece of art in his memory.

Its not bad to remember. Its good to remember those we care for. But to do it in a way that honors their memory. So today think of some one you have lost and honor them. Remeber them and celebrate them.

Have a good day and know that God does love you and watches out for you.
