40 Days of Design, Done.


Busy is an understatement, as you can see from the date of my last post. Although this is well delayed, I would like to take this chance to post about the culmination of 40 Days of Design. 


Just a quick lesson: Lent lasts forty days, starting on Ash Wednesday and ending on Holy Thursday. Why forty days? The significance of the forty days is in honor of the forty days Jesus spent fasting in the desert where He endured temptations by satan. Different denominations calculate the "forty days" of Lent differently, some exclude the Sundays during the six weeks, and some don't, leaving Lent to end on the Holy Thursday instead of Easter Sunday. Whatever belief or denomination, I don't think matters; I think it is more about the experience and the process. 


And what a process the past forty days have been! I completed many of my 'pending projects', some of which had been sitting in my living room for close to a year. I would have loved to keep the tradition going, as I think Lent tends to breed good habits. However, I have somehow managed to get even busier with life! 


So where this may be the last of 40 Days of Design for awhile, it won't be the last art you see from me. Keep checking, and I'll keep posting. And although it's a few weeks late, Happy Belated Easter!

40 Days of Design: Week 5

Here I am again, late as usual, but with an update from 40 Days of Design. I have here week 5, with work on items for a new canvas, new logos, and continuing work on the upcoming canvases for the kitchen. It's the last week, and I am looking forward to what Easter Sunday will bring. Have a happy Holy Week! :)
