This is an artist's impression of the new kitchen. We placed the order yesterday (1/24), and requested delivery no earlier than April 1 (so it'll be a bit warmer and it won't interfere with some March plans). Professionals will install, but we'll do most of the demo work ourselves as well as re-tile the floor.
Our Lady of Lanikai (rendered in colored pencils)
This unique representation of the Blessed Virgin was inspired by a profound personal experience that I had in 2004 involving a tiny pebble. Back then I had a health crisis during which I was undergoing severe abdominal pains for several weeks - my doctor had scheduled medical testing to determine the cause of my pains, and as I awaited the results, I have to admit that I was a bit anxious.
I went to a nearby beach - Lanikai Beach (see the Comments Section of this photo) - with a few friends to relax and pray, but despite my best efforts, I couldn't rid myself completely of my anxiety. I remember silently asking the Lord and the Blessed Mother to help me and that's when I happened to glance up at the sky above the ocean. I was surprised to see a perfectly round cloud with a letter "V" hollowed into the center of it. I quickly drew my friends' attention to the cloud and we watched it for almost a minute as the sky-blue "V" slowly expanded into a clear shape of a Heart, while the cloud itself retained it's circular form.
After a few more minutes the cloud eventually dissipated, leaving all of us deeply impressed. My friends and I discussed the unusual formations and we all concluded that the blue "V" stood for "Virgin Mary" and the Heart was obviously the symbol for Love; taken all together, the whole event was interpreted as a personal sign from the Blessed Mother that she would take care of me... but the matter didn't end there.
I continued to pray, and as I did so, I absent-mindedly picked up clumps of sand and threw them into the ocean. I noticed that a single sand pebble remained sticking to one of my fingers, and when I took a closer look at it, I was amazed by its appearance - the pebble bore an uncanny resemblance to a classic Madonna-and-Child figure, almost like a tiny 1/2 inch statue of the Holy Virgin carrying the infant Jesus (see the Comments Section)! As I pondered this additional grace my heart was further eased and I was filled with immense peace. Needless to say, my test results were favorable as they brought to light a minor intestinal condition that was easily treated with medication.
This drawing depicts the unusual cloud formations that I witnessed on that fateful day in 2004, and in the center, I drew a stylized representation of the Madonna-and-Child image that I believe to be present in the pebble that I found on the beach. Behind the Virgin is beautiful Lanikai Beach with it's blue waters and world-famous famous "twin islands".

Trying out my new watercolour pencils, and I am very pleased with them. This guy in the Dunelm coffee shop hardly moved a muscle but his glasses slipped further down his face every minute (I drew them early on so they stayed in the original position)

What I'd like to achieve with Misty's class is to let loose. Not be such a perfectionist. Draw from my imagination more and less from my eye. Forget a little of my art training "rules" and see the world through different lenses.

** the jade and topaz really pop in real life. I can't scan those two colours for the life of me. In real life the colours mingle to form an amazing teal.
