In Honor of Luke Gullberg: "I'll Meet You at the Top"

Hello Everyone,
I was truly inspired by Luke Gullberg, and I know you were as well. I have painted this portrait and I am selling the prints for $10 to raise money for Luke's climbing wall at Lakeside Bible Camp. Please contact me if you would like to know more.


















Thank you,
-Abigail Platter

"All who wander..."

"are not lost."
I once thought this quote was from the Bible because it seemed so familiar and true. In actuality, it is Tolkien.
This is where I want to wander-
Maah Daah Hey Trail


























Mt. Rainier























Tibet

















































This weekend I wander to Lakeside Bible Camp, where I certainly never feel lost.

Looking up above, I think I have a thing for mountains...

Workspace


I believe that besides my guitar, my art desk is the best Christmas present I have ever gotten. Two years ago my parents bought me a clean, white desk just for drawing and painting. I LOVE it. Having a specific workspace is highly important for doing anything creative, because I can leave it up for as long as I want without it being in the way.
This is my workspace in all it's functional glory. Facebook just aids in the creative process, I swear. ;)

Quick Experiment


Now, this started as a "just about to wake up" dream. I attempted to make it impressionistic. It came out a sort of "tribal abstract." Ah... the creative process.
I successfully avoided my psychology homework with this escapade. I wonder what it means...

Highlights

I would dare say that 2009 has been the most important year for me thus far. It was like taffy, so sweet and good, but it took so much pushing and stretching and molding. It was just as it needed to be!
In chronological order ( I think) is a small list of the wonderful happenings of '09:
-The start of many Bainbridge trips for this, last, and future years to come
-Bangs. Best hair decision ever
-Painting
-Medford Roadtrip with the Girls.
-Lakeside Teen 2
-TCL 2, SO important!! Discoveries were made there...
-Parties!
-Starting School for the first time. Ever.
-The Lord's Everlasting Love found constantly throughout the year.

2010..... What do you hold?
