Watercolour Giveaway on Instagram!



Hello!  A few weeks ago I changed up my Instagram account to have a profile for all my card creations and original artwork.  This account is public, so anyone can see it and then I can keep my family life and everyday photos on my private account.  

So, to celebrate I thought I’d have a GIVEAWAY on my Instagram Account ChristineCreationsArt.  

I did a little freehand watercolour wreath with Daniel Smith Watercolours, including this beautiful quote I found.  I really resonate with what it says:  “Where I create, there I am true”.  


Some pretty roses and grape hyacinth adorn the wreath.  It’s 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches.  It would make a nice little reminder in your creative space.  I want to spread a little sunshine out there

So, to ENTER TO WIN:  
1.  Follow me on my art account on Instagram:  ChristineCreationsArt
2.  Comment on this wreath post in my IG Account.  

You can be from anywhere on this blue planet, and I’ll draw from the followers and names on Instagram on Thursday May 21. 

I’ll only be drawing from Instagram...but don’t worry, I’ll give away something like this on my blog soon!  Thanks for joining me friends!

Call to Your True Colours Artwork


Blessings on this Palm Sunday to you!  I wanted to share an original piece of artwork I recently painted.  Watercoloured with Daniel Smith Watercolours on Arches Cold Pressed Watercolour paper.  

This season I began an Easter Art Exhibition at our Church with other artists around the theme "Vision of the Christ”.  Today it went live on-line and this is the piece I submitted.  It’s Called “Call to Your True Colours”.  Here is my description of the artwork. 

Luke 22:60-61 “Just as he was speaking, the rooster crowed.  The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter”.  

DESCRIPTION OF THIS ARTWORK:

Though the rooster crowing must have been a moment of shame, fear and conviction for Peter, I think it equally as much was the moment Peter came to himself.  It was the call back to who he truly was.  A disciple of Jesus, a friend of the Lord, a man of conviction and faith.  Black roosters are never truly black, they reflect numerous colours in their feathers.  In this piece,  I tried to play up the underlying colours of the rooster to represent the call to Peter to come back to himself, and his true identity as a follower of Jesus Christ.  Now it is our call - come back to your true colours seen through Jesus’ eyes. 

Praying it invites and encourages you this Easter week!
