Honduras Mission project

This summer, my husband as a youth pastor, in conjunction with two of our churches, planned a mission trip to Honduras. Among our many activities there, we planned to paint a daycare center in the town of Santa Barbara (near the Hogar de Ninos where we would be primarily helping). As this project was my primary responsibility I thought I'd post a few pics. It isn't fabulous art, nor original designs, but it was a ton of fun and the kids from the community loved it!

My super fabulous team did an amazing job!

We only had time to paint over this horrendous green on the inside (no caricatures here).

A well deserved break!

Illustration Friday word of the week: Early
It's too early to wake up!

Seahorse done with colored pencil as a study for the Children's mural.

The word of the week for Illustration Friday was "Equipment." Crabs make me think of bulldozers...not sure why :)

On this piece for the Children's Mural I tried a little more color. (Photoshop)

Fearless or Unwise?
As I'm working on a Children's Mural over the summer, I thought I'd tie it into the Illustration Friday's topic for this week.

This week I'm starting to see what colors I'll be using. Haven't added the colorful sea plants yet. Made in Photoshop.

A few more sketches for the Children's Mural I hope to be working on over the summer.

Over the summer I hope to complete a mural at a church for a children's room. The teacher mentioned she would like an underwater scene. I thought it would be fun, so I started putting together a few character sketches.
