Last week I urged those of you who felt that there was more to your existence than you are now experiencing. There truly is more to life than the work-a-day routine consisting of making money, getting ahead, acquiring power or most other things most people do. Those things may or may not happen in your lifetime. Even if they do they will not follow you when you die. God and Jesus are not in the business of preserving what you acquire in this world. What they are about is making you part of the family of God. Have you ever noticed that those who follow Jesus are always involved in service to others and not making themselves greater than those they serve? Jesus promised the paraclete would come to those who followed him. That promise was for any and all who answered His call to repent (turn from the sinful ways of the world) and follow the way of the Lord. It is called walking in the spirit. It is what you feel urging you to seek Him out and follow Him. The amazing fact is that you have a choice to follow or not to follow. No arm twisting or coercion just facts to consider. Believe in Him and the promise of eternal life or not and accept a nonexistence for eternity. Many good people reject Him and believe there is no life after death and accept death as a permanent nothingness. Scripture says that nonbelievers are condemned to the pit of fire not just a nonexistence. The urge to seek Him out is a calling from the Spirit of God to come home to Him and become part of His family. Walk with Him in the Holy Spirit and experience a world that is different than anything you have known before.
This week is another of the Highlander images. This is by far the best one I have had the privilege of doing. It was challenging on many levels. I asked several people which one to do next and this was the choice.
Notice: The image is mislabeled as Dreams Coloring Art. It is actually Highland Dreams.
The Copic colors used are:
The pen is 0.05 black. The 0 blender pens were used to make corrections and to clean up so areas the bled. This was a mixed media project. The pencils were used where the lines were too fine to do with the Copics.
That is it for this week. May the good Lord bless and keep you. Remember to "Always Love The Details."
Each image you color is your best compared to those you've done previously, and this is just breathtakingly beautiful. This looks more like a photograph than a colored image, and your skills for coloring are truly a gift. There are not enough words to describe how your talent brought this image to life with Copics, but it's just outstanding! God bless you and have a great day. I love the details!
ReplyDeleteHi Jim - I so strongly agree with what you have written - walking with the Lord is a liberating experience, and also gives us
ReplyDeleteHOPE for our future, here and in eternity
Your colouring is amazing - the shading on her skin is exquisite, as is the 'glow' in the brooch.
Blessings
