Bathsheba Watching Her Husband – Church Drawing #8

by Administrator | Jun 11, 2008 | bathsheba, bible, christianity, church, david, drawing, streaming, video

#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.

The Milk Bath – Church Drawing #7

by Administrator | Jun 10, 2008 | ballpoint pen, bath, bible, christianity, church, draw, drawing, foreign, milk, old testament, women

#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.

A Woman Thinking Things – Church Drawing #6

by Administrator | Jun 9, 2008 | ballpoint pen, bible, christianity, church, drawing, teenager, thinking, thought

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.

Amphora and Football – Church Drawing #5

by Administrator | Jun 6, 2008 | amphora, ballpoint pen, drawing, football, greek, nudes, vase

This is the fifth in a week long series of drawings I did while in church.

I don’t remember the sermon that day but I can guarantee it had something to do with
football, probably was around the Superbowl.

Singing Flaming Baby Jesus – Church Drawing #4

by Administrator | Jun 5, 2008 | ballpoint pen, christianity, christmas, church, drawing, jesus, sketch, sketchbook

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.

The Two-Thumbed God – Church Drawing #3

by Administrator | Jun 4, 2008 | ballpoint pen, breasts, drawing, girl, god, ponytail, sermon, sketchbook

Day three of a week long exhibition of drawings I have done while in Church.

Church Drawing #1

by Administrator | Jun 2, 2008 | ballpoint pen, church, drawing, ink, sermon

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.
