Week Three!✨

Well, I’m a little late posting my journaling efforts for week number 3.πŸ˜‹ Time has been flying lately. I enjoyed trying some loose watercolor techniques last week in my journaling and created an impressionistic painting of a couple crape myrtle blossoms. Love these trees, we have them growing along our driveway and right now they’re in full bloom!πŸ’• I want to do a painting of all the trees lined up along the road, but maybe that will be a goal for next summer.☺️Here’s a picture of the most recent page in my journal.

Psalms 145 inspired this week’s journaling. This is one of my favorite Psalms!βœ¨πŸ’•
And here are a few blooms from our crape myrtle trees. Love these shades and colors.😍


This is a short clip of some last touches I did on a larger painting of the myrtle blossoms. So much fun!!πŸŽ‰πŸ€© y’all have a wonderful week!✨

β€œGreat is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works.And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness.”

Psalm 145:3-7

Soooo fun to see those finishing touches going on in that lovely Crepe Myrtle artwork! Ours are blooming here as wellπŸŽ‰πŸ€© , and I love the fact that God gave us “natural confetti trees” when He made Crepe Myrtles, with their papery petals!!πŸ€— Thank you for sharing, and KEEP UP the beautiful work for His glory!!βœ¨πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ§‘
