Last week the Journal 52 prompt was Spring Cleaning and that is what I was doing! We had overnight guests over the weekend and it was so much fun.
I have started to do a quick mandala in the morning with my coffee. I write down things that come to mind and my to do list and intention for the day. I’m not managing it every morning, but it is a nice way to start the day. That is what is going on the left hand page. The right hand page is my spring cleaning page. I used the palm leaves I got from church as a mask. I dabbed a cosmetic sponge in 2 shades of green paint and a dark blue and yellow and dabbed it all over the leaves. After that was dry I painted in the leaves using the lighter shade of green, yellow ocher and white. Then I journaled over the whole thing with my white Sakura pen.
I especially love the green leaves. What beautiful depth they have.
I’m really happy with the way they turned out. I love to touch them. The texture is really nice – you probably can’t tell that from the photos. I am about to go on some acrylic texture/color adventures that I have been planning for a while. Stay tuned!
Beautiful! I love so much when people manage to do some daily art exercise. It’s very nice what you’re doing.
Thank you for the kind words. I wish I lived close enough to take some of your classes, your work is beautiful!
Wow I love those leaves. They feel fresh. The greens and white accent really do capture the feeling of spring:)
Thanks! Such wonderful adjectives brighten up my day!
