I don’t draw very often these days because I am writing in all my free time, but in 2020 I made the extreme effort to participate in Inktober and drew this for the word prompt “armor”. I had a blast and now use this picture on my business cards. #kidlit #picturebooks
Whoohoo! My story The Rufffest Toughest Bulldog Buccaneer received an Honorable Mention! Thank you @mindyalyseweiss.bsky.social for a fun contest! #kidlit #pbparty #picturebooks

Some #penguins for the #jaunarty day 15 post with the prompt #animals. I think penguins are one of my favorite things to paint. Daniel Smith paints on 300# cold pressed Arches. A tad of Japanese tissue added for texture in the snow. #januarty25 #watercolorartist

Hello everybody! I’m Faith Pray (yes, that’s really my name by marriage).
Here are some recent-ish pieces that make me smile. Whatever is ahead in 2025, my wish for us is to bring more compassion, light, & creative beauty into the world so love will rise above hate, & good will win.
