Uncovering

More Journal pages.

This was done as a background with acrylic paint and bubble wrap an then I added umber paint. Later when I went back and looked at it I saw this horse and painting in the negative space I uncovered the horse so others could also see.

Playing with Zentangles. I painted in the background with walnut ink.

Visual Journals

I signed up for a free journal class sponsored by Strathmore, featuring their new line of journals with four different options for paper and at a very reasonable price. This is me playing around with the Watercolour one and the Mixed media one as well. I'll write more tomorrow to tell you what I did but for now here are the pictures. :) enjoy!

Oh Mr Fig Newton is in a different journal.

Recycling

I can't stop doing faces so I am making a few Christmas cards with yes of course . . . faces

I decided I would like a new art table but found one close to home and the price was right. FREE! This is the isle of my dad's barn and if you open this door you go into the feed room. In the feed room is a table that was my mom and dad's first kitchen table . I am not sure exactly what year they bought it, but it has been used well its entire life. I decided to give it a higher purpose and cleaned it up and brought it into my art studio. So this is what it looked like before and I will take some more pictures to show you the after.

And here it is in a previous life with me in 1962 with my best friend Pogo. He is obviously tasked with holding onto some very important paper. LOL!

And here is one more Christmas card. They were both done with watercolours and a white gel pen. Ho Ho Ho
