Search for beauty in some things and you find will beauty everywhere.


Brainy Quote

There is a brain, eye and heart disconnect in this world. If you judge someone negatively yet have never met them how do you know who they really are? Have you gone to a blog site and not stopped to take a really good look at the image or even better yet read the provided information about the project? Too busy? Why? Stop! Read! Look at the resulting work and you will see the heart and soul of someone. They are trying to become something more than they are today for tomorrow. They are giving of themselves so we can see the beauty hidden inside. I for one want to see that beauty and tell them I see it. If you don't visit enough sites in a day to fill the National Registry but take the time to read and tell a few that you see their beauty, that will soon fill the National Registry. Ephesians 4:2 "With all humility and gentleness, and with patience, support each other in love."

The New Jerusalem Bible. (1985). (Eph 4:2). New York: Doubleday.

In the last post the Thomas Kinkade image had been more or less started. With some 30 Copic colors being used it was just the beginning. After doing 5 or 6 of these images it was expected that the number of colors would only grow. First lets give the updated image as it is at the time it was scanned it in. Ready?

There are a few colors that are not showing up well yet. Remember this image is more than double what I have to work with. At this size some of the problems are visible but they will be corrected as much as possible before the finished image is posted. To the date of this post there are just short of 50 Copic colors used. The number of Copic colors in what you are not seeing is over 60. Yeah That is correct, 60. Stay tuned for the, hopefully, final posting of this image. At that time the Copic colors used will also be posted. Have fun with that one. Cherokee says, "Irish must have eaten loco weed. Cherokee get headache looking at small picture. Ancestors use whole rock wall for pictures. Irish need medicine man before done. Get Lumatrick hat for Irish to wear. Fits him."

I would like to thank Maxine from kiwimeskreations for nominating me for an award. I would also like to thank Grace at th-ink-ingofyou for her gracious box of blog candy. You can see her card and what the box contained at my DW's blog here.

Next time I will hopefully be done with the image, maybe Thursday or Friday. I am ready.  Until then remember LOVE THE DETAILS.
