As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
This week's Diva challenge really was a challenge for me at first. She asked us to take our home and interpret it in Zentangle form. Since I was homeschooled for so long, you'd think home would be an easy concept for me to illustrate. But perhaps, since I have been in the home for so long and seen the many facets home life has to offer (darn, I should have used the tangle Facets!), I couldn't pick which facet to tangle. I decided to go with the most important part, the basis for our home - God.
Lots of Paradox crept in here, kind of taking over the tile! I love doing those smooshy triangle shapes with Paradox and a little Hollibaugh. The shading really looks better in person - really. The scanner just can't do the pencil justice!
Wonderful sentiment, and wonderful tile!
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you!
DeleteThis is a beautiful tangle; and your sentiment comes through wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that - glad it resonates.
DeleteLove the cross at the center of your Zentangle. And it's perfect since our home isn't really here anyway, is it? Wonderful job:)
ReplyDeleteAmen! Thank you for that reminder. This is our temporary apartment while we wait for our time to go to our permanent residence. I can't wait!
DeleteGreat inspiration for your tile this week.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYou've really portrayed your intent here very well. Excellent tile!
ReplyDeleteWonderful response to the challenge. I think it turned out great. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was a lot of fun to do.
DeleteGreat white and black balance! Great work!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that! I love how that balance comes along so naturally most times - just a part of the process.
DeleteLove this, Zach! I agree about this being only our temporary home. Keep the cross in the middle of your home-away-from-home! :D
ReplyDeleteI love the way you used the paradox tangle. Gotta practice that one!
Thank you for the encouragement!
DeleteParadox is one of my favorites recently - definitely one to experiment with.
hahaha! i love your commentary! homeschooled my daughter for 12 years - she's graduated now and trying to decide what to do next, lots of praying going on, but not feeling God's movement in a direction yet. looking forward to seeing more of your art here online :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Keep seeking God's will. I'll keep posting if y'all keep reading and seeing it!
