There is but one blog and one blog only.

Alas, life is full. Dogs demand treats. Cats demand attention. Laundry is to be done. Floors must be washed. Children taught. Computers fixed. Money raised. Life lived. Missions accomplished.
Therefore,
I have closed my "art" blog at cmshroo.blogspot.com
Just too much to do and not enough time to compartmentalize my life.
I will do ALL blogging here at the original one. I have tried to move all those blogs to this site should you NEED to re read them, tee hee, for they are so wise and creative, ha ha.

So go to where you manage the blogs you follow and delete originartkangaroo. It is no more.

Watercolor Fun

This is so fun.
1. paint a colorful wash on the paper, make it VERY wet
2. place plastic wrap on top of the wet paper and move colors around under the plastic.
3. pinch the plastic so it is in little shapes
4. put up to dry with the plastic still on
5. when completely dry, gently peel off plastic
6. paint colors into the "shapes" left behind by the plastic, leaving gaps between the color as you see them...

God, the artist

Sometimes I think we forget, perhaps on purpose, that God was first and formost and artist. This makes people like me smile. God is creator, he created, he is creative. One only needs to look at the the wildlife in Australia (or the Jackson Walmart after dark) to know he is not only creative but has a sense of humor.

When someone asked Michelangelo how he did such magnificent scultptures, he simply said,"Carving is easy, you simply go down to the skin and stop". Or "I saw the angel in the marble and set it free."

Michelangelo carved down and took away all that was not an angel, person, horse, or whatever. Just chiselled it away until it resembled his vision.

Take the few minutes to view this video. Than marvel at the work he does on you.

Philippians 1:6 "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

Romans 12:2 "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this worls, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's wil is - his good, pleasing and perfect will."

We are his masterpiece

The Almighty Creator is an Artist
We are his masterpiece, his workmanship...he don't make junk.

"The Gorge", ALBANIA

Early in our stay in Tirana, we joined the Brewers and drove up the mountains to a place the MK's affectionately call "The Gorge"...Fun ensued...
