Fun October journal page.

Doodle de Degenerative Discs

Working on a "surround" page for my "tunnel" pages. This doodle was inspired by the art work on the wall at the physical therapy office, spinal vertebrae, and degenerating discs.

Colors for the page inspired by wonderful heat therapy.

Art and Oatmeal: November Birds

Working on the "surround" while making a tunnel journal page. On this page I decided to start painting the birds of the season.

Art and Oatmeal with slices of Winesap Apple (Thank you, Carol!). I started the page by freely laying on and splashing the watercolors.

The first "bird" is a surprise sulfur butterfly that flew by me in the back yard on November 29th. (watercolor, ink, and colored pencil in Strathmore 500 Series Mixed Media Journal)

The next bird is a squawky backyard Blue Jay. Inspiration for the layers of watercolor, ink, and colored pencils comes from Paivi at Peony and Parakeet. 

The Snowbirds are back! 

A bright spot of color in the yard! Note the hole which will become part of the "tunnel" journal page.

Art and Oatmeal with inspiration from the inside of a Yogi brand tea box

Morning doodle while eating my oatmeal with Honeycrisp apple slices, cinnamon, and brown sugar.

First colorful splashes of watercolor.

Then ink doodles inspired by the design inside a box of Yogi brand tea. Can you find the dragonfly?

Blue flower doodle.

A fish and a snail.

Fun designs and...

Quirky characters.

Ignore the hole in the center! 

That will become part of my "tunnel" journal page.

Oil Pastels are like yummy crayons...

Looking at a book about Nicolai Fechin inspired me to play with some oil pastel crayons.

Playing with earth on Earth Day...

First Sunday in April at Nolde Forest Environmental Education Center.

Layers of mud, yes, real mud, sand resin, acrylic paint, and just a touch of glitter paint.

"Petroglyphs" were carved with the handle of a paint brush. And, yes, this IS in my Strathmore 500 Series Mixed Media Sketchbook. 

Tree #148/10,000 Dogwood in spring...
