January Art Journal Day 20

Use a front door. I down loaded Milliande's choice of a front door. It looks nothing like my front door. I drew it in a log cabin in the woods. This isn't my choice of where I would live. So why did I make this pick? I think I know why.  It signifies peace and solitude. I know I need this in my life!

January Art Journal Day 19

Day 19 challenge was to incorporate a toy talisman from childhood. I couldn't remember any toy that had been my favorite. Then I remembered my vacation at Stone Harbor, NJ when I was 12 years old. This journal entry tells the story of an event during that vacation.

January Art Journal Day 18

Lettering. I remember seeing a lettering artist that had a gray blue background with dark blue lettering. I thought the combination was pretty. As it is the middle of January, it has been frigid and snowy. The lettering needed some snow.

Today's challenge is to use the pear, make art using different mediums. I used pastels for one pear. The red pear is a collage

Pick your favorite number and incorporate it into you art. I always, don't ask me why, liked the number 22. I decided to use the number 2. My question is: Does everyone have two sides to them? Is one side dark, somber and serious and the other side light, cheery and happy? This is how I interpreted the number 2.

January Art Journal Day 14

Today's visual journey was Story of Woman. A serious thought that there is a universalness that unites us.  Milliande had downloads of either stone or bronze female heads. She suggested that we use one or more of the heads. They were so hard looking...all I could think, was how could I lighten this up. That's how I came up with the Smile Have Fun sign.
 I believe this art journey, that is uniting us, does bring many smiles to our faces and I know I am having much fun.

 Day 14 challenge is Mirror, Mirror.  I liked this challenge. It took me to a comfy spot... the way I like to draw.  I love drawing faces and figures. I added zentangles around the mirror, then muted them. I wanted  the face to hold the attention. I named this Looking in the Mirror.
