Dear Friend,
How are you? I’m fine… well, really, I’m tired but I think we are all feeling a bit tired this time of year.
I’ve been enjoying some time off from work…
How about you, what have you been doing?
I decided to try something new in my art journal. I cut three shapes from my hand-painted papers and glued them to my page. Then I added some watercolors, as you can see on the left.
Next, I added some doodles with a black micron pen. I added more watercolor to finish my page, as you can see on the right:
What do you think?
I hope you are well.
Your friend,
Jill

Love it Jill. Looks like something I could get into. Haven’t done art for months. I’m missing it but my space is still very cluttered. I’m getting there but it’s a long slow process.

Hi Carol, I understand about the clutter… my art room seems like it is shrinking in size yet I know it is because I’m disorganized and I have wayyy too many projects going on at one time! 😉 I carved out a little space for myself for now and this seems to be working for me. I hope you can get back to your art making soon, Carol 🎨👍

Hi Sharon, thank you my friend! 😃 It was super fun to experiment and I enjoyed doodling with black ink over watercolor. I’m working on another collage project that I think you might enjoy also. I hope to finish it today. Happy you like my doodle! ❤️😊

Happy art work, you did here Jill! So much like you!
I try to carve out a tiny piece of art time too every day. Driving every day to my father who is in hospital takes so much time and leaves me very tired in the evenings too! Art time and sometimes simply visiting an exhibition gives me some energy!

Hi Suzanne, thank you! 😊 I’m sorry to hear your dad is still in the hospital. This can be time consuming and emotionally draining. 😔 Good idea to visit an exhibition too! 💙 Sending hugs! 😘xo
