I am pleased to announce the winner of yesterday’s FREEBIE FRIDAY contest. I entered everyone in the number generator and the winning number belongs to Kristie Hammond in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. I listed my newest drawing of Jesus, Age 12. But I gave the winner the option of choosing a fine art print of any image from my online stores here or here. Kristie chose the one below, a print of the original painting, “Northern Lights Return”, measuring 4″x8″ (10cm x 20cm).

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 original artwork give-away. Some grumpy people think I’m doing this solely as a gimmick to get traffic. I realize this doesn’t hurt my traffic. The truth is, I just love giving things away. I love to have my art hanging in your homes or places of work.
I love doing this. I’m glad to give away another, no wait!… THREE ORIGINAL pieces of my art. This is a picture of one of these original works. This is one of the original limited edition woodcuts you see here. I carved the wood into a stamp to create the part you see is black (just like the potato stamps we made in elementary school). I applied the waterproof ink on the stamp and rubbed it onto Arches cotton rag watercolor paper, measuring approximately 2.5″ x 3.5″. Then when the black ink dried, I applied the watercolor paint. I call this very limited edition “Walking the Dogs”. Click on the image for a larger version. They don’t come matted or framed. There are three of them (#7, #8, #9), and they are all very similar, of course. I’m feeling generous today, so there are going to be three winners!
We have a dog. On winter nights just like this as the sun is setting we love to walk out on our frozen river and let her run free. She loves it, and so do we. It clears our minds, focuses our hearts, and reunites us. They are always special times.

Welcome to another FREEBIE FRIDAY original painting I’m giving away.
I’m so happy I have this opportunity to give away another ORIGINAL painting of mine. This is one of my original works. I got up early this morning to paint it just for you today. This is a watercolor and ink piece on Arches cotton rag watercolor paper, measuring approximately 2.5″ x 5.5″ (7cm x 14cm). I call it “Red North Sky”. I have it pictured here matted and framed so you can see what the finished product will look like hanging in your home. It doesn’t come matted or framed.
I have experienced the northern lights many times. They are profound moments. Very mystical and spiritual for me. In fact, it is at night with the vast sky and stars that I feel closest to what is Divine. The northern lights intensifies this.

I painted this small watercolor (4″x6″… 10 cm x 15cm) for my dad for Father’s Day. It is on a blank watercolor paper card. He loves it. It inspired him to want to get back to fishing again. Click on the image for a larger scale picture of it.
