Last night our next door neighbour stopped by with his four children who had gathered us a big bouquet of sweet-smelling lilacs. I just had to put the event on paper with my oil pastels. Thank you Sam, Emily, Matthew and Hailey.

About my drawing and painting.
Oil Pastel and Charcoal Portrait
Pansies This Time
I belong to a website called “Paint My Photo” where very generous photographers provide examples of their work for others to use for drawing or painting. Here is an oil pastel I did today from a gorgeous photo by S. Belle-Isle.
I wish I could get the rich deep purples of the pansies. God is the best artist.
Crashing Wave
Crashing Wave is done in oil pastels from a photo by Ruth Edward Anderson on Paint My Photo. 
Practicing Ocean Waves
I’ve not done any seascapes and so I decided I needed to practice. Here is my first attempt in oil pastels from a photo.
Coloured Pencil Sketch
This is a coloured pencil drawing I did from a photo. I was looking for a picture of what I thought resembled the image I had in my head for my 1812 story character, Adeline. Of course, she would have worn her hair pinned back or pulled up in braids, but this is how I imagined she might look.
An Experiment in Still Life Drawing
This is a drawing I did from a photograph taken by Lillian Bell (Paint My Photo).
Drawing from Music
Many things can inspire me. This is a quick drawing I did yesterday while listening to a tender piano melody.
A Hymn for the Lord’s Supper
The Table of The Lord
words©2008 Mollie McKibbon
Our food is here, the table spread;
We poured the wine and broke the bread.
This costly meal none can afford,
Provided freely by our Lord
.
Come drink the wine and eat the bread;
Come hear the words our Master said,
“This is my body and my blood,
Now love each other as you should.”
“I spend my life-blood for your sake,
And though my body they will break,
My friends, I promise you will be
One day in paradise with me.
Our food is here, the table spread;
We poured the wine and broke the bread.
This costly meal none can afford,
Provided freely by our Lord.
