Coffee, ballpoint and tombow marker, 4/10/09
I had Good Friday off from work, which was a welcome break. It gave me a chance to volunteer to answer phones for the Spring Pledge Drive of the Q 99.7. They are a listener supported station and stay on the air through donations. It felt good to lend my talents and help out. I met some cool people and got a chance to get out of my comfort zone a little bit. I did this from 6-9 am (I am a morning person!) and made a few sketches while I was there. I used a black ball point pen and a gray Tombow marker.
After my radio station experience, I drove around and did some exploring in and around Suffield, CT. I got a LOT of good ideas for future landscapes that I want to do. Suffield is a picture perfect New England small town. I didn’t do any sketching though because I had to drive to my parent’s house for the weekend. I had planned on participating in the 22nd Worldwide SketchCrawl, but I forgot that it was Easter Weekend. No offense to the sketchcrawl, but Easter is way more important! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter as well.
This is one of my favorite Scripture passages relating to Easter and what it means for us today:
When you were baptized, you were buried together with him. You were raised to life together with him by believing in God’s power. God raised Jesus from the dead. At one time you were dead in your sins. Your sinful nature was not circumcised. But God gave you new life together with Christ. He forgave us all of our sins. He wiped out the written Law with its rules. The Law was against us. It opposed us. He took it away and nailed it to the cross. He took away the weapons of the powers and authorities. He made a public show of them. He won the battle over them by dying on the cross.
-Colossians 2:12-15
