The whole process of painting this reminded me of my love of just painting and doing what I love. Sometimes I get lost in the daily grind but lately I have returned to my love for all things painting in art journal. This labor of love that has traveled with me, kept me company, been a diary of my life, been my place for ideas and more. It is a wrap…..
It will continue to be by my side but a new chapter is about to start in my journey of art…..A whole new book will be started in Germany of all places. Oh the places we will go! Stay tuned for a final recap of all the pages from this book and for new pages! This is a journey I share with so many others and for that I am thankful! So to that I raise my glass and say Cheers!
There’s incredible power (and freedom) to be harnessed when you realize EVERYTHING in your life is your responsibility. Your current lifestyle, body, relationships, etc. are simply a receipt printout of everything you’ve done up until this point. And if you want to change it, you’re going to have to realize first that you’re the only one who possibly can. Stop waiting on someone else to rescue you. Every time someone asks me, “How do you live the way you do?” I answer: “I decided a few years ago that if I wanted to write a story worth reading when I got old, I’d have to be the one who took responsibility for creating it.”
Oh my gracious sakes alivin’….. I didn’t know you did abstract art like this Tracy. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The colors – WOW. For sure one of my favorites EVER. j.
I used to do more of things like this and so happy to just play and return to it 🙂
Love this!
Thanks so much!!

Thanks Sandy!!!
Love it can’t wait to see other pages!! Is this a “homemade” album? What mediums do u bring when traveling?
Hi Maria, that is a Strathmore Soft Cover Mixed Media Book I used. I have used homemade but like the strength of this one. Lucky my job with DecoArt includes traveling and my art supplies being there now (I am going to Paperworld for them to demonstrate). When I am on vacation I wrote this up a couple of years ago: https://tracyweinzapfelstudios.com/art-journal/travel-art-journal-supplies/ Hope that helps
Love it. Would also love to see a flip through of the journal pages by video too. Just sayin: )
I will be doing that for sure!
Love your abstract art! You should do more of this more often.
