Hi!
Hope you are heading into fall with some creativity!
Over the next couple of posts I’m going to share a mixed-media butterfly project.
I’m starting with pretty papers, vintage music sheets, glue stick, and watercolor.
First I divide my paper in two. I’m making two 5 x 7 works. I loosely sketch my butterfly shape.
Next I glue assorted papers onto my page:
Then I watercolor my page:
Stay tuned for the next step tomorrow!
Cheers,
Bev
Different angle
Fall sun pours through my windows
Leaves rain on garden.
Art Prescription: It’s dry. Yards and pastures have been seeded. Only thing raining down is leaves.
Need to do a rain dance!
Tiny Journal:
Patterns do repeat
Until we choose to change, then
Is your glass half-full?
Art Prescription: On my mind a lot lately is how we live. Is your glass half-full or half-empty? How does this effect your day, your life?
Can we overcome negative thinking with positive attitudes and gratitude?
If you are feeling low energy, what must you do to regain a life purpose?
Random sketch:
Quiet I gather
Beautiful objects from walk
And say a prayer.
Art Prescription: life is so big.
Green with bits of red
Leaves hang on for their last days
Then float softly down.
Art Prescription: seems so much of life is going with the flow. And isn’t nice to have a positive forecast!
I do believe our thoughts are important and thinking positive and expressing gratitude help us through our days.
Art Journal Watercolor:
It’s frisky weather
Time to prance and buck a bit
Among crispy leaves.
Art Prescription: Cooler weather gives us all a spring in our steps!
Mixed-media:
Another lesson
Chance to go forward better
A return to self.
Art Prescription: life lessons are hard…always moving forward.
Last page in this small journal:
Adirondack chairs
A white pumpkin adorns porch
Sun slips behind trees.
Art Prescription: Finally a fall-like day. Rode Finn and worked in yard. Remember my feral cat saga…here is “Blackie,” the male. He will let me pet him now. The female is cautiously getting closer.
Pen and ink in journal:
Silent like owl wings
Angels hover over us
Protecting our hearts.
Art Prescription: Vision during yoga.
Tall grasses and pods
Wave in warm September breeze
Just a little fall.
Art Prescription: still a two-shower day!
Went up to the North Carolina Botanical Garden to get some hummingbird pictures before they migrate.
The colors hint of a little fall.
