The 10th and last in the two week series of drawings I did in church.
This one really came about simply because the square in the upper half of the page had
the little drawing of a waterfall in it. So I just expanded out from it to create a
landscape. Not sure why I chose a well, maybe it is a wishing well, similar in kind to
how people think when they pray, as if they are wishing for something.
This is #9 in the two week long series on drawings I have done in church.
Sometimes it’s just a random silly drawing that comes out,
having nothing to do with anything.
#8 in my two week long series on drawings I have done in Church.
In this one I imagined if Bathsheba was a modern day soldier’s wife, able to see her
husband via the internet, and how torturous it would be if she witnessed his being sent
to the front lines and killed in battle.
#7 in my two week long series on drawings I have done in church.
Sometimes a sermon or a reading or something from the alter will be the impetus for a
drawing. In this case it was the last paragraph mentioning foreign women that got my
imagination going. I chose a milk bath so I wouldn’t be drawing her breasts in church,
which I figure would distract and bother someone who might be watching me draw.
This week I continue the church drawings, but these were all done in my bible. The
bible had sayings here and there, fit in between the scripture. I would drawing over
those sayings, or on the blank, end of chapter pages.
This one was of a teenager in church and I imagined what she was thinking while the
pastor droned on about things she really didn’t care about.

Fourth in a week long series of drawings I have done while in church.
I have no idea where the heck the sermon was going when I drew this one, but it was
drawn in December so it was likely a christmas story that was being dealt with.
This week I am showing a series of drawings I have done in Church. I have been drawing in church for at least 25 years or so. I find it is a great way to internalize the message, or the environment, feel, moment, spirit, that is hitting me at the time.
