New Cover

So I finally got around to changing the blog cover image to say what the new name of my blog is due to me being on a YCSM here is the picture of the cover. I plan on trying out general conference quotes  the same way as this cover for the next general conference.

Spiritual sleeping bag

hare is my current drawing that I've finished:

"I asked in disbelief, “Why not, Paul?” Silence—then finally the sheepish reply: “Well, I thought if I didn’t unroll my sleeping bag, I wouldn’t have to roll it up again.”True story: he froze for hours because he was trying to save five minutes of work. We may think, “How foolish! Who would ever do that?” Well, we do it all the time in much more dangerous ways. We are, in effect, refusing to unroll our spiritual sleeping bags when we don’t take the time to sincerely pray, study, and earnestly live the gospel each day; not only will the fire go out, but we will be unprotected and grow spiritually cold." - Gary B. Sabin

Molly the lab and pit bull mix dog and more

So I took my Molly the lab and pit bull mix dog drawing to the Eastern Oregon art festival last week, and although I did not get any awards, I got tips on how to improve my art.
Here it is finished :

Finished

and Framed

Framed

I also put in this picture that I took last year, near Secret Beach, Oregon.

Here I am at the art show

I have also started typing a collection of my Great-Great Grandpa Earl Dewey Fisher Stories, and plan on adding them individually to genealogy sites, and one or more books for Short stories that he had hoped one day to published, but died before he could make that happen. 

I now have art for sale right here  The price of the art ranges from free to $30. Extra costs are have to pay  is shipping and handling, and an optional cost is for if you it to come framed which is $15 from combined cost of $11 for a 11x14 frame, $3 for the extra S&H and $1 for the cardboard box to ship it all in. Normal Shiping is the Drawing, and DIY packaging in a vanilla envelope. Plans for an art sales blog is in the making. There will be an art for sale and a flopped art for sale page. All of my art I've made, that is not on this blog I plan on making soon, will be not for sale art. Some of the not for sale art will be just temporarily not for sale, and the rest is indefinitely not for sale.   

 Thought I'd add this scripture:
Mosiah 4:30 But this much I can tell you, that if ye do not watch yourselves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deeds, and observe the commandments of God, and continue in the faith of what ye have heard concerning the coming of our Lord, even unto the end of your lives, ye must perish. And now, O man, remember, and perish not.

and here is a verse I feel like sharing :
Moroni 7:46-47 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not charity, ye are nothing, for charity never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto charity, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail— But charity is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.
In institute last week we went over Abraham 1
I was on vacation last week, and on the the way home my family went on a hike over at June Lake near Mount St. Helens.

Molly drawing for the Eastern Oregon art festival and more

This year I've decided to be part of the Eastern Oregon art festival. As a good portion of the drawings and paintings I've made in the 5 years is technically not original art, I've gone with making a new drawing for that purpose. So I have a drawing of my dog Molly, That I'm going to be calling "Molly the Lab and Pit bull mix dog" I'll be calling it by the abbreviated name "Molly lab/pitX dog" for now on this blog until I finish it.

2 days ago

one day ago

I plan on add flowers and a shadow by the time I finish this. I've also noticed that there is some parts at an angle and straight at others, so I plan on fixing the straight stuff to be angled as in the picture I'm basing this off to avoid a similar problem with how a drawing of a Rhodesian ridgeback I made back in October 2015. 

So in institute this week we went over Moses Chapter 8.

here is a scripture I felt like sharing: 

Malachi 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
