A Place to Pray

 


This spot is in our family room and I have my own little corner where I can pray my Rosary and read Scripture.
I have my Holy Water for The Sign of the Cross when I start my prayers including a beautiful scented oil. I usually have my cup of coffee or Ryze coffee to sip on.
The beautiful painting of Jesus in the river was given to me by a friend from church, who also gifted me the oil.
And there is a photo of my little love, Bailey, my dog who passed away in November of 2023. I still miss her so very much. I love being able to see her in this photo.
I see her in my dreams now and then. 


My chair belonged to my grandmother. I remember playing on it when I was very young. Then it was my mom's and now mine.


It's nice having a special spot for morning prayers. I also like sitting here during the day when I need a break. It's very comforting.


During daylight there is a wonderful view out to to the backyard. I can actually see the neighbors' ginormous tree which is in their backyard. There is a neighborhood squirrel who visits all our yards and sometimes I can see him in the very top of their tree!!

Blessings to you and your family!!!

Teaching myself Watercolor Painting

 


Not the best but I am having fun. I am watching lots of YouTube videos and just diving in.
I wanted to see if my calligraphy pens would work on watercolor paper and I am pleased to report, YES!!

So I will be doing many more and add in some calligraphy, so much fun!!


My lesson, don't be afraid and don't worry about being perfect, just keep practicing and learning!! There's a lot of wonderful artists out there who are more than willing to share their knowledge with us. 
I am very thankful

Jellyfish using paint pens

 


I painted a jellyfish on a past acrylic paint flip cup pour. I love how it turned out. Once I had the jelly all painted I used a paintbrush and watered down white paint to fill it in. I love it!! Now to figure out how to make my own floating frame as I cannot find them for this size of canvas.
check out the youtube video below!!
ENJOY!!
