artistic endeavors: for jen.

Sigh.

Maybe I haven't been too inspired in the word-department, but I think I've been pretty decent in going on a steady roll of painting.

So much so that I'm still catching up.

:)

This is for the dear Jen:) She's in Africa right now, and she FB'd me about an earthy-toned canvas with John 13 :35 in Swahili. Of course, since she already had the right translation, I said yes. I didn't want to mix and mess it up by Googling the English-to-Swahili translation of a scripture. 

I did it on a surprisingly rainy day, so there wasn't the greatest lighting situations one could hope for...but she loved it when I sent her the picture, so that's all that counts:)

I added more orange accents at Anna's confirmation that it looks like henna...:) We love henna.

With this post, I'm doing something I've never done before, I don't think.

It's posting two art posts in a row.

*sigh*

I've switched by musical affections from Jimmy Needham to Starfield's newest album.

Didn't want to overplay Jimmy, ya know.

Heather's coming, so I'm off to brew coffee;)

Steph had an earlier commitment forgotten about, so I'll be tagging along on a walk, scrapbooking (which I don't do), lasagna (layered with zucchini strips marinated/roasted), Oreo cheesecake I made last night (got the recipe from my friend Samantha, but will repost it with a couple pictures! Amazing!!), off to the softball game tonight with our family...

So yes. What an evening this will be.

Oh, and here's the English version of the above scripture:

By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
[John 13:35]

Have a wonderful day, and oh! I forgot to tell you.  
(wink) 
Yesterday, I forgot it was Monday, and randomly decided to go without coffee. Randomly. Really. No reason whatsoever.
Hmmm.
But I survived!
Heh heh.
I'm off....they're here. :)
