2 sketches painted today by me Gloria Poole,RN, artist, author, photographer, of/in Missouri ;Update

This is my second attempt to paint grapes and leaves, as the leaves change color and the grapes are that deep dark purple color. I posted the fist sketch to a blog of mine so if you are interested you can find that sketch and compare them. I think this one is better. I did not draw this to begin but after I had painted it, it looked so amorphous, that I outlined it with a marker to make it more distinct. I also signed it with a marker. I painted this in two layers. The first layer was of inktense washed over with a wet brush. But I didn't think that achieved the look I wanted so I added in some pastel on top of the leaves. Then I added in some red around the edges of some leaves with a watercolor hard pencil. Then I photographed it, uploaded it and posted it to this blog of mine today 15th Jan 2016 at 10:)8am. I also posted 2 other photos of what I created so scroll to see those. Copyrighted.

This is an abstract of a Christian cross -- a symbol of Christian faith and intended to look as the cross of Jesus must have looked, i.e. rough hewn of wood. I drew in carpenter's tools which might have looked differently in the year 0 A.D. when the counting of time changed to before Jesus or after JESUS. I also drew in a guitar because the Bible says to make a joyful noise. I drew in a rough hewn pen because the Bible was first written by scribes probably using quill pens made with feathers. I drew in a candy kiss as a "thank you" to THE MESSIAH JESUS. I drew in a light because JESUS said He is the "light of the world". I signed it sort of messily because the tempra background was not quite dry, so I had to let it dry then do-over the signature a bit. I photographed it more than once trying to get a good photo of it. Copyrioghted.

This is my signature that I signed on the sketch "lil girl watching the waves" which I posted yesterday to my http://gloriapoole-UK.livejournal.com. I photographed my signature on that sketch several times with several cameras including on some of my cell phones, to establish fact that they are mine and I still use them and have possession of them and intend to keep them [though criminal thugs OFTEN try to hijack them] . Copyrighted. I signed this signature with red watercolor paint and then cropped it for a purpose.

This is my signature I painted to make a 2016 personal logo and I painted on the paintbrush. I have posted it to 2 other blogs of mine so far. Copyright.
