I like doing some things digitally, too. My youngest daughter wanted me to design a baby’s announcement. Then she wanted me to design a 1-year birthday invitation. Her friends jumped on the bandwagon and soon I was designing several of these. It’s enjoyable!
Here are some samples of my digital designs.

Happy 1st Birthday

The sermon topic this Sunday morning was One Way. It was the first sermon in our summer series “Road Trip”. I made this quick little sketch between writing sermon notes. I really do listen!

The clouds and light have been so pretty these last couple of mornings that it’s been difficult concentrating enough to drive. Not good!
This was taken yesterday morning on my way to work.

Just the thing to do while listening to the pastor. It may sound odd to some but I just can’t concentrate unless my hands are busy. Give me a pencil and a piece of paper and my ears are yours. Dunno why that is but there ya go.
These are some quick Sunday morning sketches. One is a member of our congregation and I was interested in capturing his chin. It just caught my eye and wondered if I could get it on paper. I must say the likeness is pretty good.
The second was just a quick little drawing of no one. Do you ever do those?

I love sunrises and sunsets for the beautiful colors that streak across the sky. I love them both for symbolizing the beginning and end of another gorgeous day.
However, I prefer sunsets. Sunrises mean I am up too early in the morning and that normally does not please me. Sunrises are a reward for getting up so early. The other reward is getting off early in the day so I can spend time with my family.
Driving to work the other morning this beautiful sunrise was waiting for me. I’d like to share it with you.

It’s still here. I just got bored with the old and brought in the new. The old is still up and running. Go to it here: http://brendacarpenterart.com/index1.html. It will take me a bit of time to get everything set up. Meanwhile make yourself comfy-cozy. Have a glass of iced tea. Want a cookie to munch? Me, too. However I am trying to watch what I eat so you enjoy and I’ll watch.
These posts will be just random thoughts from a purely random mind. There may be some art, some sketches, some photos. There will be news about family, friends and my sweet little dog, Chloe.
Take time to write a comment or two. Let’s be friends!
