The colors are so mesmerizing haha 😵‍💫. My brothers favorite color is purple
I just started the design for that one earlier today :) Purple is one of my fave colours, also! Heh, how could you tell??? .:unsure:;):giggle:. A very good friend of mine started calling me Magenta last millennium and it just stuck .(y). That is what we call purple in my line of work.. :cool:

I had an older you are welcome panel, but felt it needed updating. It looked like this:


You are welcome!
I had not posted it for some time, and as you can see, my style has, um, changed...

My mind sometimes just goes blank when I feel put on the spot haha. I was thinking gado was cat in Spanish, but, no? There is
apparently a fairly famous Brazilian social documentary photographer and photojournalist with the same last name as yours
.:D

I rarely write long posts/essays .;):D. But I did want to clarify about my designs, because I am not drawing
what I call the "elements"... I am digital collaging with multiple pieces sourced from sites that offer them for
free for others to use in personal projects with the caveat of no financial gain, which I am fine with. Oh, I just
looked up collaging to make sure it is a bona fide word LOL and they call the elements ephemera! I like that
word better
.:D. For instance, the woman started out looking like this:

1678409222903.png

I drop her onto a canvas that started out blank, and add a border, backgrounds, floral ephemera etc and text etc...

I make many edits to most of the pieces as I add them, starting with size. On faces like that
where a number of filters and edits have already been made, I almost always change the eyes.
That one just looks like a watercolor to start with, so maybe it did not have the edits some do.

Thank you for your support. It’s nice to have an environment like this surrounded with people who share the same faith. Hard to find that in the real world lol

No, I do not sell them :) I do it for the sheer pleasure of creating
things to display the written Word of God (most are Scripture panels :))

I like this one. It’s very uplifting, positive and encouraging. That’s actually my favorite verse :)
Thank you! I'm glad you like it .:). I think overall that John 3:16 is probably the best known
and most well loved verse of all. I did an earlier one, also, dedicated to another member here...




That was one of my first designs, when I had just started collecting the "ephemera." .:D.

I’m so tired that i can’t sleep. How absurd. And yes I think it’s the most beautiful verse in the Bible, in my opinion. Your biblical artwork must definitely being cheering people up, as with me. So I’m glad that you do what you do. Even the little things, makes a difference. Blessed are you
