WOYWW? The Letter K

Having Spring Break, I was able to keep-up with my family, as well as utilize my creative energy in the arts.  Although I've learned to work very well under stress, I recognize that the usual multitasking I live with drains the time I can spend with the latter.  This week, I played homage to the letter K on my workdesk through…

"Before the rooster crows twice, you will disown me 3 times."
Acrylic Paints, Micron Pen, & Gelatos painting over Tissue Taped ATC
Moo Mania & More - Poultry
Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #10 - Birds of a Feather
Eva & Kristin's Paint Party Friday - Week 3 Year 5
Maria's Orange You Glad It's Friday #135
Kate's Express Your Creativity - Week 13
The knowledge of my human iniquities vs. the Lord's grace;

{Peace} - Isaiah 11:6
Micron Pens, Calligraphy Pen, Caran D'Ache Watersoluble Pastels, & Prismacolor Pencils Illustration
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Lions & Lambs
Alexandra's Sunday Sketches
Piarom's Mix It Monthly - Angel/Saints
The kindheartedness that will embrace all creatures on Earth someday;

Masculine Birthday Cards
Various Papers, Dies, Paints, Stamp, Ribbon, & Label Maker
Freshly Made Sketches #178
Order of the Opus Gluei - Black and Other Color
Karen's Word Art Wednesday #176
The birthday celebrations of those kin to me by marriage;

Spring Retro Camper
Die, Various Papers, Micron Pen, & Markers
Tag Tuesday - Spring Is In The Air
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Spring Pinterest Inspiration
Julia's What's On Your Workdesk? Wednesday #303
A practical use of kraft paper scrap to make a door;

St. Patrick's Day Tablescape
iPhone Shot Digitally Enhanced
Ramona's Inspire Me Monday - Week #168
Denise, Roger & Leslie's ABC Wednesday - K is for Keen Eye
Bella's 52 Photo Project - Week 47 {Liquid} Vessels
And the admiration of my daughter's keen eye for decorating our St. Patrick's Day dinner table, as well as my wife's exquisite culinary know-how.

Tomorrow, I go back to work and to my graduate studies, so God willing I'll be able to carve a little time to regenerate through the use of my creative energy in the arts.  Thank you for stopping by and leaving kind words.  Blessings!

So glad to see your name in the comments box....and the first one too. I very much agree with your sentiment, one should indeed live the life we imagine. Its odd to think that somehow we can have a practice run, but once you leave that thought behind, the world opens up. I appreciate your artwork and reading your philosophy too.

Hi Arnoldo, I know exactly what you mean about keeping the various parts of life going so they don't stress you out too much. Keep calm and crafting, that's my mantra at the moment....
I adore that caravan card you made, that is so lovely and made me smile! I bet the recipients will love it as well :-)
Hugs, LLJ 24 xx

Love your treatment of the letter K, Arnoldo - it's a lovely challenge to meet! Nice to see some Hebrew on your art work too. Shalom is a very special word! Thanks for your very kind words and continuing prayers for my surgery tomorrow. Less than 24 hours to go now.

Happy belated WOYWW,

I remember being immersed in the world of work plus grad studies and have no clue how I would have got through it without being able to paint to de stress... I don't remember getting through as much as you manage though... hope it is a great semester for you!

Beautiful rooster card, and lightning. It's interesting how the Lord used the rooster to convict Peter.

What a wonderful way to prepare for Resurrection Sunday! I love them all - maybe the rooster most because I have a thing for chickens (even boy chickens!)

You surely took K on quite a journey. When I saw the rooster I lost my breath for a moment thinking about how Peter must have felt. Great art with that wonderful map and faux stitching. Thank you so much for posting your entry with us at Word Art Wednesday this week.
