I've sure missed getting together

with our little faith art group that meets on the 2nd Saturday of each month. 

My life has been busier than usual these past few weeks - 

All good...

But I miss this sweet fellowship - 

 

 Here's a little idea that I shared with the group via instagram @faithbasedpages 

It was inspired by this post from incourage...

And this page I found through googling - artist unknown...

I started with squares and circles and rectangles -- 

I'm telling you everyone can do this!

After adding in some details, I printed the quote on the computer and stuck it down - 

 mod podge worked well!

Then I added paint - y'all know that watercolors are my preference, but I used acrylic on this becasue I wanted to at least TRY and blend the computer print in with the page...

Not that I added some darker edges to the ice cubes and glass...

Next I added someout lines with pencils that I smudged up a bit...

 

And lastly, I tried to enhance the quote a bit after it was covered in paint - 

I used the thinnest marker I had on hand...

And then I called it done - ha. 

I like it - and I am so glad to know 

there is no substitute for the refreshment that only God provides!
