Be the Light for All to See

 This was an 8 in by 10 in watercolor painting 

for a young lady named Avery. 

She is a freshman at Harrisburg (SD) High School.

Her mom said she is the 

Traveling Volleyball Team's "Cheerleader" along

with being a great volley player. 

Nearly Ruined my Spirit

This was a commissioned piece that I hand drew, hand painted for a local person in Bon Homme County for her to use as her 2023 Xmas cards. I actually did two drawings. Only painted this one. Time accumulated for both pieces: over 8 hours. Never got a reply back from her. I found out from my mom getting a piece of Xmas mail herself from a recipient from this "client," who received my imagination. 

This Client made a mockery out of my mad skillz. My heart shattered into a million broken crayons. 

Just recently, I started using my imagination again after this happened -- 6mos after the fact. But a piece of me is and will always be deeply sad.
