Mind Map





Map for the soul...
Personal Map Making challenge for
True North Arts group...

showing priorities and 
precious things in my life.
Art journal page, mixed media using
pastels, watercolor, colored pencils, and
Sharpie marker. This came out looking
a little like a cross between Peter Max art
and the green heroine in "Wicked,"
but that's ok...it makes me smile.

  7. This art makes me smile, too. Colorful, but not overpowering. I'm only sorry that I haven't been able to get to your blog sooner.

  9. I love your interpretation of the map challenge. It is true - we ourselves are maps of where we have been and thought.
    Thanks for sharing it.

  13. O my Peter Max! That takes me back a few years - your wonderful Mind Map has such wonderful quotes - I see the 'live the life you have imagined' (one of my faves) among them!
    Thank you for sharing such talent and soft flowing colours! Awesome job!
    Blessings on your journey

  14. So Beautiful! I was thinking of doing a mind map for this challenge, but ended up doing something reflecting the way I feel right now instead. This might just be what encourages me to try this once I've settled a little into the summer!

    And I love Elphi!

    Thanks for sharing

  15. What a great idea for a map. And since this is a "Wicked" household, it's doubly appreciated.
