Watch Over Our Children

Copyright 2009-2010 @ Sundrip Journals. All rights reserved.

Watch Over Our ChildrenIt usually doesn’t take me 7 or 8 days to complete one painting but it looks like this one will need even more time. Seven days now but I’m getting closer.

The painting shows a young African-American child walking through a field of sunflowers and wildflowers while being guided by an older Black angel.
Painting Details: The sky and flowing water meet and roll around her skirt into a field of flowers. There are two small butterflies floating above a sunflowers, one single white daisy. The child has small green leaves as trim for her clothing and is holding a tiny little flower.

I believe the final version will make a slight distinction between the sky and water. I may also add a few tiny details to the adult angel but other than that Watch Over Our Children is nearly completed.

Update:

Ah yes, it sometimes takes awhile but the end result is worth it.

Watch Over Our Children (final)

The colors have been changed dramatically as were the flowers but I like this version best.

Thanks for visiting,

Exhale, in color.

This painting is from a line drawing that was scanned, digitally colored and manipulated. The color is the same type of vivid work I do but the abstract composition is rather experimental.

When The Light Comes

This is the  sister painting to Night Hold.

When the Light Comes

The close up view shows rays of chaotic color held back by light. Her hand also pushes it back while the other reaches for what she needs and longs for.

When the Light Comes detail

The child is not afraid, she’s been waiting for her shining light to come. It’s not an end nor is it somewhere far away. She walks into hope right here, right now on the earth we know.

Night Hold is pictured below.
