Art Journal Pages

Remembrances of my grandmothers...

Watercolor background, scraps

of painted papers and scrapbook papers

in borders, with some pen work.

Notes from an art textbook, below.

Couldn't resist adding some sketches...

This art journal seems to be filling

up with more writing than the previous journal.

For me, it's  usually more about the art than

the writing. But I do like to get

information down in a place where I

can locate it again, and that's my

art journal!

Index Card A Day (ICAD)

Elizabeth at Altered Book Lover blog

DaisyYellow's blog.

Collage and Drawing

Mixed media collage on a 4 x 6 index card.

I buy them in a spiral pad so I can take 

them with me. I can work on them 

while on vacation or while waiting

for someone to get done with

an appointment. More fun than

looking at outdated magazines...

A drawing on ledger paper, with some

stamping, purchased tags, and

triangular banners of scrapbook paper,

and painted card stock.

A sketch for some canvases I am thinking

of painting.  3 tall skinny canvases, but

grouped together as one composition.

Colored pencil in my visual art journal.

The right hand larger circle is a light blue. 

On my monitor it is too pale...

trying to use mauve, browns & tans

with accents of blue & purple.

Yesterday's post gave me some trouble,

and I don't know if it was Blogger or

operator error. It will disappear and

this takes its place.

A bit of a dry spell right now,

but hoping to make progress

and get into more drawing!

After the thunder, lightening, and
