I’m one of those people who takes life so seriously I have to actually name an art journal “Okay to Play” just to give myself permission.
This is the first page in my journal.. something I did about six months ago and have already forgotten doing. But it is in my journal so I know it is my art. (Short memory these days? It is 2024 and I’m 72 now as of July 13.) This is called “Sunshine Gardener.”
This was done with acrylic paint in a watercolor paper type journal. I am waiting for further inspiration to develop it into something worthwhile.
I like this one and featured it on my book blog this month. I had to turn the sketchbook upside down to discover the image in my scribbles. Great fun. Title: “Prayer Girl.”
More scribbles. Just having fun.
Here’s what the scribbles turned into. “The Sower” – because I’m reading The Letters of Vincent Van Gogh. And “The Blessing” – because that’s what I saw in my scribbles.
This is unfinished…. just more scribble play art. What will it be? I’m currently calling this “The Dancing Pumpkin People.”
Right now, this is not my favorite. I’m moving on.
In case you didn’t guess already – there’s a baby in that basket.
More later, I hope.
