Chinajoy's Top 10 Drawings of 2010

I am not really sure why this made number one, but it is literally the most viewed drawing on both my websites. This little guy was crawling around here in the back yard of a friends home in South China. I decided to draw him. ---joy

This is what I would have considered my all-time worst drawing, but people seem to love it. I was dogsitting at a friends house for a week, and she had a lovely garden out back with butterflies everywhere. I just happened to snap a photo of this little guy as he landed on a miniature Zinnia. ---joy

Again, this is not what I would consider one of my best, yet it seems to rank high with the visitors to my websites. I had just arrived in South China, and took a week at a youth hostel to rest up. Across the street was a walkway and a park along the Pearl River. They had beautiful flowers everywhere. I was inspired to draw a few of the Canna Lilies.

I enjoyed drawing this one, but it was more of a sketch than a drawing. To me, a dove represents the Holy Spirit. ---joy

This one I really loved drawing. Someone came up to me and said that a friend had referred him to me and asked if I could help him. He had seen this picture in his dreams many many times. He wanted to know if I could draw it for him.

This was a commissioned drawing from a member of my church back home. Her little one almost died in the hospital, and after a visit from the Pastors and a time of prayer, he recovered quickly and was able to go home despite what the doctors said. Today, he is a healthy little boy. ---joy

I spent part of 2009 back in the USA recovering from a serious illness and surgery. I spent most of my time with this wonderful "seasoned" lady from my home church. When it came time for me to return to China, I wanted to leaver her with something special. I drew this for her. It represents 2 Cor. 2:15

At a Christmas party in 2009, my daughters brother-in-law played the piano beautifully. While taking photos I notice that he had unusually long fingers. To remember the music and how well he played that Christmas, I drew the photo I had taken. --joy

2010 was my first summer to spend in South China. I kept hearing what I thought were dogs barking. Turns out it is the mating call of these little guys. I found one to draw at a nearby pond near Guangzhou, China.

Bedside View was actually one of my first drawings. It was an card of encouragement to a friend. Once my drawing skills developed, I decided to redraw this one and see just how the drawing had developed. I was amazed as well as my friends. This one is the 10th most popular drawing on my websites. ---joy
