Art Journal

What you are seeking is waiting for you.

Rumi

Our souls in our human bodies always seek peace. You can’t get there from here, so to speak… You have to do the work. You can’t cover a hole with air.

New hand-bound art journal made with an original painting, vintage wallpaper, and brown shipping paper. What fun! One of a kind. Will list on Etsy.

Weather

A jacket in June?

Warm layers for rainy walk

Smell gardenias.

Art Prescription: I don’t ever remember needing a jacket in June. It’s usually sweltering hot.

This is a pattern made from acrylic paint, a stencil, and colored pencil. Now I’ve made mini cards to go in my Stitch Kits.

Cool June

Cool and rainy June

Pitter-patter, rain on roof

Studio lights warm.

Art Prescription: I actually love this kind of day. So cozy in my studio with doors flung open to watch birds at the feeder.

I’m working on a commission:

Gardenias

White Gardenias

Sweet perfume in the garden

Petals velvet soft

Art Prescription: The scent of gardenias is unmatched. Their sweet perfume will follow you around the garden.

I did a simple pen and ink sketch on blue card stock…. just the basics, soothing.

Remembrance Trees

I’ve been working with UNC Hospitals for years creating Remembrance Trees.

I’m so honored these trees are used in a process for healing as participants write on leaves which are glued to the tree.

I’ve created Four new trees during this covid pandemic.

Repurposed

Although I enjoy trying other styles of painting, today I repurposed my work from yesterday into a journal.

Made a totally cute journal!

Art journal with blank pages, bound with jute. I’m going to list this in my Etsy shop:
