I think I’m going to participate in the Diva’s Challenge more regularly while I integrate all that I learned at the Certified Zentangle® Teacher Seminar #27. This week the challenge was to use the tangle Scallamp created by Sarah Uram and you can see the step outs here.  For more Zentangle® art check out the Diva’s blog.

Gift of Art and Technical Question

I drew/painted this as a gift for my son who is a composer to be used as cover art for an EP if he and his collaborator wanted. It wasn’t what they were looking for, but I thought it turned out interesting, so here it is!

Also, my husband told me that I need to upgrade my WordPress site because of increased security threats. Well, I started looking into it and discovered that I need to back up my site first and all the documentation to do that has me lost. If any of you can use plain language to help me with this I would appreciate it. Have you backed up your sites? In any case, I hope you have a beautiful day.

Celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day and my Mother

Today was my mother’s birthday and we took her out for lunch. We really had a nice time. I use pages from my father’s hymnal that is falling apart as one of my symbols for her and the hearts and spaces left by the cutouts represent her. I wrote my daily to do lists in my journal for the Journal 52 prompt of Just Write. I also wrote on my Wabi Sabi Celtic Knot that I posted for the Diva’s Challenge. I did a wrap up of the week on the right hand page with my sketch for my good Celtic knot mandala. I am painting a copy of it in so I will post the finished one when it is done, but here is the  black and white version.

On this darkest day of the year I want to wish you all a happy solstice. I will be starting the new year with a mediation retreat and will be entering into noble silence. I have decided I will not be blogging between now and January 10th. So I wish you all happy holidays and happy new year.

I have taken some time to reflect on the past year of my gratitude journal and would like to share my top 10(ish) pages/page spreads with you. I really enjoyed looking through all the art I have created within the last year, particularly because one of my big intentions for this year was:

make good art

I feel like I have been true to that intention to the best of my ability. Here are my favorite art journal pages either because of content, execution, or a combination of both.

I look forward to our continued journey in 2015. I have so much to be grateful for and I thank you for joining me.

Coloring Pages and Walking through Autumn

art and a fall concert

This past week has been really busy with lots of walking and lots of art. Some of the walking was just for entertainment with friends and some was to raise money and awareness for people who have to walk to get to their food and water – the CROP walk. In any case, it has been lovely autumn days to walk through cool clear air and crisp leaves. My acupuncture doctor is back from her walkabout in China and I am feeling so good. I have had a few days where my migraine has been down to a 2 – I have to stop and ask is it there? And then I notice flickers of pain, but I am free to move through my days with joy and energy. What a wonderful feeling!crop walk

I have finished the illustrations for my coloring pages. I am really happy with how they have turned out. I already sold one set and have decided that I’m only going to sell 2 more. I have really struggled with the idea of selling my art so inexpensively, but I also enjoy giving art away, so you can see my struggle.

My husband has been working so hard on a play with our community theater and I was able to see the fruits of his labors. I laughed and I cried. I’m so proud of him and he looked so cute on stage, too. What a wonderful week. I hope you find time to notice all the good things in your life, too. Namaste.
