Pages from my Artist Journal


My sketchbook is one of my favorite material possessions. I wish that I was better with words, because I love how some artists combine beautifully clever writting with their drawings.

    I love that you keep a sketchbook. I too love to let my creative side out...I draw, paint and write. However, I have the hardest time making myself take time for it. It seems like there are always chores, errands, etc. to keep me from it. Maybe just starting a sketchbook would keep me going.

    I keep a sketchbook too... lots of them... but I can't draw! Lots of words, but I'm waiting for the pictures to magically draw themselves. YOUR drawings are wonderful. Thanks for showing us!

    Your pages are beautiful! I'm wondering if you're familiar with Clare Walker Leslie's book Nature Journaling. It's a great one.

    Thanks for your recent comment on my blog?

    Thank you. I will look for it. I love to see artist's journals, almost as much I get excited about seeing their studios. When they feature artists studio, I always study them intently and pay attention to things in the background--tools, inspiration, or maybe works in progress that show how their brains work.

A bit more Flow Blue (or Flo Blue)

Pink Roses in Flow Blue,   Oil on 6 "x6"   Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in  Langhorne, PA  School is about to start again and it seems when it does the Holidays are close by and time goes faster. I decided this week I would "make" things go a little slower to get myself to relax. I get a lot of inspiration from so many other blogs, for my home and for my art. So, I went to several blogs that I've loved for so long, but really got to stay for a while. It was absolutely indulging--I wish I could do that more often.  There are times when I "have to" paint a certain item and I search and search as it nags at me until I find it. That was the case with the snap dragons below. I was thrilled to find them after most of June and July searching for them. I think they are perfect with the pink carnations. Although I am also working on a painting that is just the snap dragons. I did have to go a bit bigger than my usual paintings...
