It’s ‘I draw in Church Sunday’ here at The Napkin Dad Daily.  I draw a lot.  In bookstores, trains, plains, waiting rooms, and my favorite place to draw, church. 

She sat in front of us on a warm summer day at church.  I enjoyed seeing the cosmic message from the pulpit on the skin of a person right in front of me.

Pleas and Directions – updated 2018

It’s ‘I draw in church’ Sunday.  Sometimes I am not drawing a scene or person in church, but an idea that germinated from the sermon.  This one had something to do with prayer, but I don’t remember the specifics (it was 19 years ago, give me a break).

 

Drawn 3/10/91 at Westminster Presbyterian Church, San Jose, California.  We went to ‘WesPres’ for almost a decade before we moved to Tulsa in 1994.  It had the usual amount of drama, Pastors coming and going, etc. but more importantly it had a fantastic group of friends who supported us and our children and allowed us to support them as well.  I look back on those days fondly.

A perturbed couple at an Italian poetry reading at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy 5/31/03
They were perturbed because us crass Americans (me and my daughters) were not in their expectations for the night.  My response?  To draw the perturbed couple so one day I could post them to my blog and say, look here is a perturbed couple.
