WOYWW: Great are the Works of the Lord!

I woke up late today and
so I decided to make my painting simple
and easy to do.
I also decided to spare you a picture
of my messy desk.

After drawing, I used carbon paper to transfer
my drawing on to my ready made background.

Here is my drawing.
Now to get out my paints and brushes.

The verse I am illustrating is from
the Book of Psalms-
"Great are the works of the Lord!
Ps. 111:2

So many exciting things happening
in the world today.
Yes truly how great are the works of the Lord!

And the amazing thing is 
He wants to do work through you and me!

Great are the works of the Lord...
what does He want to do
in this world?

When Jesus saw the widow
he was moved with pity for her
whose only son had died. (Luke 7:11-17)
The Greek expression that Luke used
to describe Jesus' feeling means
"to have mercy from one's inner core."

As we are called to be Jesus to others,
let us remember Teresa de Avila's poem,
"Christ has no body but yours
No hands, no feet on earth but yours
Your eyes are the eyes with which he looks
Compassion on the world
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good
Yours are the hands with which he blesses
all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,
Yours are the eyes, you are his body."

Every week I choose one wonderful visitor
who leaves a comment
to receive an ATC from me.
I know it takes so much time and effort
to leave a comment
and I appreciate it soooo much!

This week,
Random.org chose
 #11, Mel Caldicott of
a beautiful lady with many wise words!

  13. Hi Patsy! Thank you for sharing with us all your process of art. It's so beautiful, and maybe you get tired of hearing that? But I love the colors. You said you started with something simple. Isn't simple always the best?

  16. I love seeing your artwork emerge from the background along with the words of wisdom. Do the passages you pick dictate what you will draw or does the art come first and you find fitting words?
