Like the laundry...
Like taking down Christmas...
Like a little grocery shopping...
But instead my fingers are smudged with paint and gesso and I am having the time of life creating my first ever art journal.
It is such a great way for me to match my need to create with my love of words. I am learning so much about myself in the process.
I hope to show you a peek every week or so and hopefully let you in on my growth as an artist.
For now, I better go wash my hands and figure out what's for dinner.
xo, Patty

Patty this is such amazing work! It has a Robyn-Marie Smith feel to it, who happens to be my favorite artist. Your work is so drawing in, the pot is just gorgeous and I really love your writing in such small but powerful words. Just phenomenal work! I must come back again...I'm so glad I am here! Blessings, Samara
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. Just love it! The pictures are exciting and evocative (for me) of summer holidays! Enjoy. Blow the taking down of decs that can be done tomorrow. Joan
