Sketchies

I know I haven't posted in forever. I don't really have anything to say, so I'm just going to show some sketches I have done recently. All of these are Colorado related... sort of. The first sketch I drew the symbol for Sky Ranch in CO, the others I drew on the way home from CO.... so maybe they don't have to do with CO, but they sort of do.

This is the Sky Ranch symbol thing I drew fairly recently

This is sort of a bouquet. I drew it on the way home from a CO trip. I was looking at the clouds, and to me, they appeared to look like a bouquet.

This is also something I imagined in the clouds.... A bunny in a flower. Hmmm

This is a bird on a broken branch.... also imagined it in the clouds

Probably the best horse I've drawn yet!

Hinds' Feet on High Places

         Okay, so for this literature class I'm taking, I am reading an allegory called Hinds' Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard.
          I drew a picture of a scene in the book, but I also wrote a summery on the book as well.... even though I haven't quite finished the book yet.

          So I guess I might as well show the summary and picture...

Hinds’ Feet on High Places

Summary

Hinds’ Feet on High Places is an allegory about how a young girl named Much-Afraid takes a journey in order to earn a new name for herself, and develop hinds’ feet so she can ascend a high and dangerous mountain to reach the High Places, where she will spend her life forever with the Shepherd in his kingdom.

Much-Afraid goes through many difficult and dangerous trials, but with the help of her two guides Sorrow and Suffering, and the Chief Shepherd Much-Afraid is able to overcome her troublesome tasks.

Much-Afraid did not wish to endure many of her trials, but in the end, she finally receives her new name, develops her hinds’ feet, and reaches the High Places where she happily dwells at her new home.

And now the picture

So a little bit over halfway into the book, the main Character Much-Afraid and her guides are walking through a very foggy forest while on their journey. While Much-Afraid is walking, she can hear her despising relatives trying to taunt her and get her to give up her journey, but luckily Much-Afraid has learned to stay close with her guides so she can't be too easily tempted.

So this picture is basically of Much-Afraid (in the middle) and her two guides Sorrow and Suffering walking through the forest trying to find their way to the right path.

I couldn't get the picture very big and have it still show, but if you just click on the picture, it should make it bigger.

Horsie Sketchies

             Well, I don't really have anything to post about that comes to mind, so I'll just go with this.

              Just a few days ago, I drew some more horses.
              I drew three horses...

              So tell me what you think.

A Dream

                I had a dream.

                I don't remember when, but I remember having a very vivid dream.

                Sometimes when you have dreams, no matter how long ago, you just don't forget them.

                The Dream Part

                So my dream started out with me and my Uncle.

                For some reason, we were at a huge ranch where they bred horses.

                We were just walking along on the wide aisles between the various pastures.

                The horses at this pasture weren't like any other horses ever seen before.

                The horses' coats were very golden colored, they had long manes and tails, and their size and shape was surprisingly like a Shetland pony's.

                 After a while my Uncle and I stopped and just watched the horses, and he told me that one of them was going to be mine.

                 He told me that we were very lucky to be getting one of these horses, because they were very, very valuable and rare few people owned them.

                 I asked if my horse would ever have a baby, and he told me that these horses could have hundreds, and we'd be lucky to have less than a hundred.

                And then I woke up.

                It was a very vivid dream, and seems to be one that I just haven't forgotten... and I have no idea why.

                It was a bit of an odd dream, but it was an awesome dream.

                So I drew a picture somewhat of the horse from my dream, It's not exactly how it was pictured in my mind, but close enough to show.

It definitely took a while to draw this, but it was worth it.

The Mixed Flower

This is a flower between a dogwood and a daisy. It was going to be a dogwood flower, but I ended up putting lots of petals on it. So I just say it's a dogwood daisy mix. this is probably the first flower sketch I drew, but I didn't get around to posting it, well, now I have.
