Help Me Choose the Model For My Next Watercolor

by on August 10, 2010 in Creating Culture, Influence

I have been commissioned to create a watercolor for Servant’s Heart Ministry to be auctioned at their Ministry Dinner on Thursday, October 14th at the Factory in Franklin.  They provide food programs, Haiti and Dominican Republic relief trips, church planting and leadership encouragement. My friend Ken Davis will be the speaker. Get tickets for the dinner at their website. Open to the public.

The stunning photographs were shot on location in the Dominican Republic by fellow artist Keely Marie Scott. Thanks!

Could you take one second and vote for the photograph that would MOST compel you emotionally to give to relief efforts in the Dominican Republic?

    I’m in the minority, but it’s #2, totally.

    The bars. The youth and innocence, but the mature defiance, which gives me hope. Probably gives them hope, too.

    It’s like she’s saying, “I know you think you’re better than me, but come on over to this side of the fence and see how we live. We love. We hurt. We dance. We bleed. We survive. We celebrate. We have things to teach you.”

    Everything about her from her eyes to her stance says… “if you help me now, someday, I can & will help make a difference too.”

    Regardless of photo you choose it will be beautiful :)

    #4 Because of the expression on her face and the look of “why?” in her eyes.

  31. basher August 10, 2010 at 1:53 pm #

    i say #3, baby boy da prince!

  32. Joni Sweet August 10, 2010 at 2:09 pm #

    #4 has different themes — poverty, hunger, loneliness, seeking love, orphan, victim of sex trafficking, human trafficking.

    #3 or #4. But, I would think the one that strikes the artist the most (as in you) would be the one that would inspire you the most. Which one captures your heart the most? Can you do a composite of them, capturing the more compelling aspects of each?

    • Randy Elrod August 10, 2010 at 4:36 pm #

      @Mark Bovee, good thought, Mark. These are definitely the four out of hundreds that captured my heart, so I’m good with any of them. Thanks!
