Welcome to another FREEBIE FRIDAY giveaway. Some suggest that I shouldn’t give away my art because it depreciates its value. I don’t have money, but I have things I create. How can I be generous right now? By giving away some of my creations. My goal is not to become a famous artist, but to help make the world a more beautiful place for people. If I can help bring beauty into someone’s home or office, then I have accomplished something. Giving away an occasional painting does this.
I’m giving this ORIGINAL watercolor and ink painting away. It measures 4″x6″ (10cm x 15cm) and is painted on Strathmore watercolor paper. It doesn’t come matted or framed, but I’m showing you a picture of what it will look like once it’s ready to hang. It is signed by me, the artist, dhayward.
I often draw such trees as this. I’ve drawn many of them. I love trees. When I go for a walk, I notice each one. They seem to have personalities. Souls. Each one of them has their own beauty. I feel an attachment to them. Some kind of bond. This particular tree has experienced many hardships. He has endured many harsh seasons. He’s lost the trees that used to be around him and provided support and protection and company. Now he is alone. But he refuses to give up. He continues to reach up, up, up, to make his beautiful impression on the world.

Welcome to another FREEBIE FRIDAY giveaway. I’m giving this fine art print away. Click on the image for a larger picture. This is not a photocopy. It is a fine art print of one of my large watercolors that took me a gazillion hours to paint. It measures almost 8″x10.5″ (20cm x 25cm) . It doesn’t come matted or framed. It is signed by me, the artist, dhayward.
This is based on a photograph Lisa took of me. At the time I was studying for my second Masters, this one in Ministry and Religion at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. I was being groomed for ordination in the Presbyterian Church in Canada. It wasn’t the route I had expected to take. I had started my PhD in New Testament Studies at Knox College, University of Toronto, in order to end up a teacher. But we had a baby and could no longer manage it. I was invited to switch paths to ministry. I was guaranteed a student charge while I studied and promised ordination and full-time ministry in 8 months. I took the deal. The student charge was in the Adirondack mountains in New York state. My commute to Montreal was only a couple of hours. This photo is of me standing by my favorite trout stream near Lake Placid, NY. I’m leaning against a tree. Notice that the 3 trees are actually crosses. I am fatigued and confused. I was wracked with doubt about what I was getting myself into. The stream, by contrast, is fresh, flowing and full of life.

Welcome to another FREEBIE FRIDAY giveaway. I’m giving this painting away. This is a watercolor and ink on paper, approximately 4″x5″ (10cm x 12cm). I spilled red wine on this painting and took advantage of it, incorporating it into the painting. It gives it a slight red hue I didn’t expect or plan for, but I like. It doesn’t come matted or framed but I’ve included a picture of what it could look like after it’s matted and framed. It comes signed by me, the artist, dhayward.
