this year i want to concentrate on
portraits
in my art.
so this week i have been practicing.
i have found out
that doing eyes is my
favorite part.
of course...
maybe that is because
the eyes are the first thing
i notice in a person.
the color, the shape.
the laugh lines.
i have been reminded
that i have to open my eyes.
to see Him.
and His gifts.
His gifts are all around us.
God not only shows himself in the large things.
but
God also shows himself in the smallest of things.
are we slowing down
enough
to see them?
today i am thankful for
~new friends
~being able to be patient enough to talk a kitten down a tree
~laughter
~faces to draw
~my eyes to see
