More New Pictures
This one will get painted again only larger next time, and I'll find out what kind of flowers they are for the title... those details are minor. LOL
Here's my second dragon. This guy has hugh wings and is prickly all over. I like the other one better # 3. I haven't taken his picture yet.
This is a sketch of a canal. All the houses actually do lean toward the water. Weird huh!
Here's another sketch of some Tiger Lillies. I love star lillies and will probably try doing a picture of each kind.
This is just some sketch doodeling. The dog was running around alongside the boat launch to the river. Every time I'd look at my paper, he'd move out of sight. I finally gave up on him and started looking for other things.
lips, eye and brow and a fast sketch of a nude. I'm trying to use as few lines as possible in this one. Makes her look deformed... don't it. LOL
"Old Boots"
"Night Caller"
These are some Lighthouses. I have no clue where they are other than in my mind.
These are some sketches I did from some magazine pictures. I suck at people, so I've been trying to practice on them. Now if I just knew how to take pictures you'd be able to see these better. LOL
Pencil doesn't show up as well, but I can't paint until I've drawn... well... not on some pictures anyway.
This little girl I thought turned out fair for a first try at people.
This one is called "Visitor". It reminds me of the little girl next door.
She's always bringing me something.
Well that's it for now. I go on binges sketching, then coloring, then painting, then crocheting.
Now that I have a tiny studio set up I hope to be able to do more painting, but I know me... I get bored doing the same thing all the time. LOL
Well, hope you've enjoyed some of these things. Maybe I'll get a nice camera someday that can take pictures of pencil better, then I can offer my coloring books like I want to do. Till then... Suffer along with me. LOL

Some Recent Paintings
This one is "Philidendron"
color pencil and watercolor pencil mix.
"Givens Hot Springs 2000"
If your lucky this might still be there if you go to Givens Hot Springs, Idaho.
You'll see this shed beside the building that houses the olympic size mineral water swimming pool.
I'll have to take this one over again.... see the curtain and my reflection in the glass???
"Books"
Is a watercolor painting I'm repairing... thanks to my birds being out of their cage.
I discovered too late they liked to perch on it, and crap down the front when it was uncovered.
Once I finish the repairs I'll be able to complete it then donate it to the local Timberland Library.

The Latest Picture I'm working on Now
I couldn't get the mist to work right, so I'm slowly turning it into breakwater upheavals and creating the tidepool which is the name of this piece now.
This picture is more accurate on the actual color than the rest. My puny camera don't like trying to take close ups so when I use the photo program it distorts the colors.
This one doesn't show the movement of the water, nor can you see the seagulls in the sky. The last one shows the water better, but distorts everything else.
Like I said, it's a work in progress no way near completion yet.

Sorry I haven't checked in for a while.
I've been so busy setting up and transferring pictures to my new web page; time just got away from me.
Then Valentines Day came and went and my sister's Birthday. Ahhh! Too little to do and too much time, as Willy Wonka would say. Yes I ate some chocolates too. OMG! I hadn't had any in ages; so long I'd forgotten what it was like...that's how long... and the chocolates too.
Anyway, I now have a site for all my pictures and busy taking more to add; so come visit if your so inclined. You can visit from my link in the sidebar called Jan's Space or copy and paste this link into your browser http://spaces.msn.com/janzspace0/ .... Or.... you can click on the title. How's that for convenience...LOL
If not.... oh well, all this talent will just have to bloom for others to appreciate.
Your loss.... LOL
Speaking of losses......
I got your IQ test results back.......
They're negative.

Final Warning! Take God's Word Seriously
I’m currently reading the Dead Sea Scrolls Bible that is the written text from the scrolls found at Qumran, Wadi Murabba’at, Aahal Hever, Masada and Wadi Seiyal. And I’m comparing it to text from the Masretic text (the traditional Hebrew Bible), the Samaritan Pentateuch (the edition of the Hebrew Bible used by Samaritan) and the Septuagint (the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible).
I find by comparing this Bible to my Jerusalem Bible there are occasional spots where the translator either didn’t know the correct word to use because there was no word to translate from or to on language to another, so I’m given both and can interpret for myself what God was saying to and through these ancient peoples.
For example Exodus 7: 1through 3:
I’ll leave blank the spots where the Qumran scroll has missing text.
Q Version EX 7:1-3 (1)”And_______said to Moses, “See I have made you as a God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be__________. (2) You shall speak all that I command you, and Aaron your brother shall speak to ______________ the children of Isr______. (3) And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, _________ my ______ ns _____my wonders in the la__ d of Egypt.”
Note: The Jerusalem Bible is a complete translation of The Holy Bible from the Peshitta, the authorized Bible of the Church of the East, the translation of the Old and New Testaments into English of all the Christians who have used Syriac as their language of prayer and worship for many centuries. Appropriately based on the Greek Septuagint of the Old Testament and on the Latin Bible of Jerome, which also includes the Aramaic translation used by Christians from the earliest times.
The Jerusalem version of EX 7:1-3 (1) And the Lord said to Moses, See I have made you a god to Pharaoh ((1) given you power over Pharaoh) and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet. (2) You shall speak all that I command you; and your brother shall speak to Pharaoh that he send the children of Israel out of his land. (3) And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.”
Now there are only two places in these verses that show any differences, but my interpretation is this: Notice in the Qumran version (1) I have made you as a
God to Pharaoh; and in the Jerusalem version. (1) See I have made you a
god to Pharaoh ( (1) given you power over Pharaoh).
First: When
God is capitalized it means The God, The One and only God. So this verse from the Qumran version is saying __________ (Something or Someone; the unknown that has the power to give power) has made Moses the same as the One and Only God to Pharaoh.
Yet the modern translations/translators have changed this text to mean: God has made Moses a lesser
god to Pharaoh and even give explanation in the footnote of giving Moses power over Pharaoh.
Does this mean they have changed the text? Put in their personal interpretive meanings? Or was this simply a human error when writing? They both give Moses power over Pharaoh but to what degree? That is where we have to get involved for ourselves.
Just suppose the Mighty Spirit of God, The Creator God, that One and Only God gave Moses equal power to Himself (and I use the male gender only because I don’t know if God has a sex. This is simply a throwback of when I was taught English and I’m comfortable with it; if you aren’t put whatever sex you prefer in here; suit yourself, for now I’m using the male gender.) So this All Powerful God gives equal power to Moses.
Why wouldn’t Moses’ words be all powerful? Why would Moses need anyone to speak to Pharaoh for him? Why wouldn’t Pharaoh have to do what Moses said, if he was a God over Pharaoh? I think that is probably why translators changed the word God to god and added the footnote. Maybe something was lost in history that would explain the God to Pharaoh.
Knowing the beliefs of the Egyptians, perhaps Moses
was considered a higher god than Pharaoh at that time, so to show that, the word was capitalized.
It is interesting though that rarely do I find any variations in the Bible. Which proves to me, all the scribes who have written the inspired word of God from ancient times to today take God’s words very seriously.
This is probably due to these final verses in the Bible.
Revelations 22: 18-21
“I testify to every man who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book (19) And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his portion from the tree of life and from the holy city and from the things which are written in this book. (20) He who testifies these things says, Surely I am coming soon. Amen Come, Lord Jesus. (21) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all, all you holy ones. Amen.

Blessings in the Darkness
“An horror of great darkness fell upon him.” Gen 15:12
January 16, 2006 evening @ 8 pm the power went out. The storm caused trees to fall across power lines and blew the transformer, cutting power and phone service to the entire area.
“Buried with Him…that…. Even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Rom 6:4
But because I know God is leading me, I didn’t worry, but trusted Him and praised Him for the opportunity He presented even in that seemingly emergency state. “Lord, I thank you for blessing me.”
“When He was alone, the twelve…. Asked of Him…” Mark 4:10
During my time in the darkness I discovered a peace that could only be God. I know this sounds crazy but I found my camera that had been missing for over a month.Now just in explanation: It isn’t like I hadn’t searched the entire apartment for the camera: I had. I had dug into every nook and cranny and every drawer. My camera was missing from my apartment. Yet – in the dark – while searching for light to light some candles – My hand was placed upon my camera, in it’s case, in a drawer.That was the moment I knew God was there with me telling me everything would be all right. That surprise was just His way of letting me know to be happy in spite of the darkness.
“When they were alone, He expounded all things to His disciples.” Mark 4:34
As a result of my relaxing and enjoying the blackout, God was able to get through to me without outside influences getting in my way. I was relaxed and receptive; praising Him for His kindness and generosity to me.Because of the blackout I was shown I would be needed to prepare for the day that is coming, when I will be needed to be prepared. Then I’ll be able to help others who haven’t been able to hear or see the warning signs. I had asked to serve.
He is preparing me to do, just that.Thank you precious Spirit Father!
