I tried this sketch the opposite way I normally sketch: added the water colors first, then the line.

Weekend Getaway
My wife and I had a chance to get away for the long weekend. We enjoyed hanging out at the beach, watching curling on the Olympics (who knew we’d watch an entire match), reading, exploring the neighborhood, and of course I did some drawing. Here’s a sketch I did of a large Nun that is […]

Abba Moses
One of the monastics of the early desert tradition. I first came across Abba Moses in a work of Thomas Merton. Sr. Benedicta shares a similar story, but with a leaky water container. A brother in Scete happened to commit a fault, and the elders assembled, and sent for Abbot Moses to join them. He, […]

A Candle and Prayers
Many prayer concerns today running from family estrangement to finding a place to live to surgery to health concerns to the passing of loved ones to climate crisis. I’m thankful for our connections to help share the burdens and for the reminders that we are not alone, but deeply loved and cherished and dwell in […]

Preparing Coffee
You know that time you use the last of your sister’s Advent gift (thanks @tangledmeeple) to make some coffee, only to afterwards realize that the crew doing some electrical work made a pot full in the Fellowship Hall. 🙄 🤣 . . . #Coffee #CoffePrepSketch #StillLife #SketchWhatYouDo #SketchWhatYouSee #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #InkAndWash #InkAndWatercolor #FountainPen […]

Candle
I’ve been burning a lot of candles during this pandemic. (Or at least this one a lot). It’s a way of prayer, of reminding myself to look for – to see – the Light. What small practice have you developed? . . . #CandleOfPrayer #Candle #SketchWhatYouSee #SketchForToday #QuickSketch #Sketching #Sketch #DigitalArt #DigitalSketch #Concepts #ConceptsApp #ConceptSketch […]

Advent Calendar
It’s time to take the Advent Calendar off the wall, turn the triangles over, and pack it up for next year. It is always more exciting to get it out than it is to put it away. Do you feel the same? . . . #PuttingChristmasAway #AdventCalender #SketchWhatYouSee #SketchForToday #QuickSketch #Sketching #Sketch #DigitalArt #DigitalSketch #Concepts […]
