| NIbblefest Art Contest: 3.5 x 8 painting, "Faith in a Seed" |
The third of my four Nibblefest Art Contest entries, the theme for May being 'The Elements: Fire, Water, Earth and Air"
This is a painting entitled, "Faith in a Seed", and my entry for "Earth". It also happens to be my Faces #20 and #21 of the '29 Faces' May Challenge.
The following is my auction description:
"Faith in a Seed"**
".....One of four entries by me for this month's Nibblefest Art Contest (NFAC) (~the theme for May being "The Elements: Fire, Water, Earth and Air") is an original acrylic painting of vellum, mounted permanently onto a 3.5" by 8" reclaimed wooden board (3/4 " thick). 'Faith in a Seed' is signed and ready to hang (not the original is sharper and more colorful that appears in this flat scan). This is a 5 Day auction.
This month's Nibblefest theme, 'The Elements', was quite different than usual. Being as that there are four classical elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Air), we were allowed to enter a total of four pieces rather than the usual limit of three, provided that each pertained to a separate element. This is my entry for 'Earth'.
I am a gardener, from a long line of gardeners. Flowers, veggies, herbs, houseplants -- I can't say I'm the best at it, but digging in the dirt has been a source of enjoyment and satisfaction for me for much of my life. Over the years I've tried to lovingly instill a passion for gardening within my own children (the planting of 'seeds', both literal and figurative), as my parents did with me . Time will tell to see if it actually 'sticks', but I'm hopeful...."
