Visual Art Journal Pages



Above
A page in my spiral bound
visual art journal. Watercolor and pen.
A folk-art style drawing.

Click on any image to enlarge.




Pages from the Scrappy Green Journal.
Background inked and written over
in pen. White gel pen on 
magazine illustration.
Bits of ephemera collaged on also.




Fun stitching provided by Elizabeth,
creating spaces to write...




Also in the Scrappy Green Journal:
Count your shoes...
the one with the most, wins!
"Fashion fades, only style
remains the same."  ~Coco Chanel




Draw something today...
as the top page says, don't think about
what the thing that you are drawing is.
Just look at the shapes and spaces
in relationship to each other.
Draw from real life.
Practice. A lot.
It gets easier.
And more fun!

Art Journal Pages



Continuing to work in the Green Scrappy Journal

that Elizabeth sent me.
'Plunge into Life' is created on top of
a page made from brown paper bag.








The next page shows the tags
peeking out of the paper bag opening,
and from behind the cardstock that
had been sewn to it.






One side of the larger tag is above.
The quote was torn from an old
psychology textbook.






A quote written on hand-painted paper
is on the other side of the large tag.
I made this paper while
painting with poster paints with
my grandson one day...

you can see the crayon resist

beneath the paint on the right side.






I love this quote...
Go throw some paint!
