I got a new Canson 9 X 12 Journal I am trying out and the great thing about it is the pages come out and can go back in….
These pages I kind of did for me as art journaling exercises (kind of like working out those creative muscles at the gym!)…..
I took some shots as I went along…..

Stop comparing your journey with everyone else’s. Your journey is YOUR journey, NOT a competition. You are in competition with one person and one person only – yourself. You are competing to be the best you can be. If you want to measure your progress, compare yourself to who you were yesterday.”
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Tracy – a dose of that background is just what I needed! Soooo gorgeous the way you blended all those luscious colors together into such a STUNNINGLY YUMMY background. Your background itself could have been a painting! But then your MARVELOUS flowers came along and truly made this a scene of BEAUTY to behold. Texture, drips, swirls, stamps, amazing colors and original drawing – all done with fab DecoArt by YOU… what more can a person ask for??? Not a thing – perfect way to start the weekend – chalk full of inspiration from you!! XXj.
Thanks so much Joi! Felt great to paint for me 🙂
This is wonderful! I’m not really much of a painter, but this seems so freehand, that is takes a little pressure off me! LOL! Thanks.
that is the whole purpose! Great to free yourself 🙂
