This is an older commission drawing I did yrs ago.

Whats New With My Art Friends

Notice the Changes I have made to your blog. Rather than just an ordinary link list. I am setting us all up with a Blog list. This way you will be able to view any updates to any of the blogs as they are submitted. I think this will help us all to stay close to each other. When updates are made it will automatically post on the bloglist of each blog. When you see it, click on the blog title and that will take you to the home page of that blog so you can see new activity and share comments. If at anytime you want to add other blogs to your list. All you have to do is click on design/Whats new with my art friends/ then add the URL or webaddress of the blog you want to add. I hope you all like this better. It may take me a few days to convert all the blogs but Im working on it. I hope the spring weather inspires you to create more beautiful art.   Loree

More from Haiti

Drawing this young girl brought me so much joy. I smiled the whole time I worked, it was as if  I could feel God moving my hands and giving me direction. It came so natural to me. This is the second in a series of drawings from Haiti. I praise His Holy name for giving me this wonderful talent and letting me experience such joy. This child has literally touched my soul with her piercing eyes and the warmth of her smile.

Akiena's Personal Interview

This is lengthy but well worth viewing. Akiena's story is so incredible and we can learn so much from her as artist.     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYDzUTZys8g&feature=player_embedded

Little Haitian Girl by Loree Lam

This was done in Graphite and enhanced with Sepia on the computer to add more warmth.
I used a photograph taken by Samantha Mccoy on a mission trip to Haiti. Thankyou Sam for the use of your picture. Lovely photography.

Hummingbirds in Pastel by Loree Lam

This is my third attempt to learn pastels. I am determined to get this. My goal is to be doing beautiful portraits in Pastel.

I'm on a mission to teach myself how to do portraits with Chalk Pastels.
It's definately a challenge for me but I know I can figure it out. Keep drawing everyone and challenge yourself to learn new mediums.  Pencil is so much fun and we pencil artist get set in our ways, but a little bit of colour every now and then really helps to keep things moving along.

The Blessed Mother, Mary by Loree Lam

cool. :).... but so often don't people forget that Mary was a teenage mum....today teenage mums can get such a rough ride.... I am glad God chose a teenage mum so that those girls who find themselves in this situation can be told that its ok, God understands you.  God bless,   Eve Weatherley
