This is my submission to this week’s Illustration Friday contest, themed “star gazing”. This is exactly what Lisa and I and our little terry-poo Abby were doing, watching stars and the meteor shower.
It measures 4″x6″ (10cm x 15cm), and is watercolor and ink on Strathmore cp watercolor paper. If you want it, click here.

I’m working very hard at keeping nakedpastor going. It’s a lot of work (though pleasant) creating a new cartoon every day, as well as writing almost every day. This picture captures my idea of myself, far up north, at night, under the stars, contemplating the beauty of my surroundings, considering what would be the next wisest step into the future.
Some people have asked how to give money to nakedpastor to show their support and to help it succeed. So here’s my little plea: if you would like to help financially to take nakedpastor to the next level, you are invited to click on the paypal link and make a donation. Believe me, it will be appreciated. My first collection of cartoons is off to the designer, and I hope to have it available very very soon. Until then, to help with expenses, you are invited to donate if you wish. Again, thanks.

Click on the image for a larger picture. The original is watercolor and ink on Arches watercolor paper, 10″ x 10″ (25.5cm x 25.5cm).
This is based on the famous story of the woman caught in adultery in John 8 in the bible. I wanted to contrast the ugly black and white of the hard stones, rocks, faces and hearts of the religious system wanting to put her to death and the woman’s beauty, color, softness and vulnerability. She’s looking off to her right. Jesus is saying something.

Click on the image for a larger picture of it. I worked on this painting all day and finally completed it. It is a watercolor on Strathmore acid-free heavy cotton rag paper. There are many layers to this painting, which is why it took so many hours. This is a sight common to me in this area of the Atlantic provinces in Canada. Seagulls and rain. It measures approximately 20″x30″ (50cm x 75cm). I’m entering this as my submission to Illustration Friday’s competition on the theme “double”.

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.
