Art & Design of Kelli Murray

A new watercolor illustration inspired by Isaiah 46:4  -

” I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.”

Resting in this truth today.

Happy Easter!!  I illustrated this little rabbit the other day and decided to make it available as a free download for you all before Easter sunday rolled around.  Print it out, give it to a friend, hang it on the wall….whatever your heart desires!  My hope is to offer more of these freebies for you as time goes on, just as a thank you for following along and always making me feel so loved.  There are two download options, both sized at 5X7 with a 1/8″ border.  The only difference between the two is that one says “Happy Easter” and the other does not!  I figured you might want to make it relevant for more than a day!

**Free for personal use only

Obviously, for me, Easter is about a whole lot more than cute bunnies and flowers (it’s just what I like to draw!).  Easter is a reminder of the incredible sacrifice God made for us on the cross.  It’s a story of ultimate love and redemption.  Him dying, so that we might live. It’s humbling and overwhelming and sometimes hard to even comprehend.  And all I can say is that I am ever thankful.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend with your loved ones.  If you live in SD, I will be selling some of my art at ‘The Night Before‘ event on Saturday where Jon Foreman will be playing a free (yes, free!) concert.  Anyone is welcome, and I’d love to meet / see you!  Rylee girl will be there and so will the hubs.  I’m looking forward to it.  And i’m also looking forward to the family easter egg hunt that will ensue on Sunday afternoon.  (For the kiddos, that is).  And the thanksgiving style dinner my mom is preparing.   I can’t believe it’s been one whole year since these photos were taken!  I need to try to dig up those ears again!

What are your easter plans!!?

I recently had the opportunity to design a good friends wedding invitation suite.  They are getting married in an old brick Flour Mill in Spokane, WA.  They shared with me their vision of filling the place with birch wood, succulents, mason jars and candles.  Sounds pretty amazing, right?  The wheels immediately began turning in my head about how I could represent this in invitation form.  They trusted me with complete creative control over the design, which doesn’t happen often!  I had a lot of fun with it…painting each one of those little succulents by hand!  I think the final design turned out to be one of my favorites to date.

Better late than never! My Christmas cards are finally available for purchase in my SHOP.  Sold individually and also as a boxed set of 12!  Get to it!  Happy weekend friends!
