Happy Paint Party Friday
I am continuing to journal in the car in the mornings before work. Yes, I am crazy with my in-the-car- art bag which right now contains the Moleskine journal, a plastic box with Neocolor water color crayons, a water brush. a glue stick, scissors, an an assortment of paper for collaging. I can easily lay down some color on a page or two and leave it on the front seat to dry. A woman's got her art on when she can and I do it best first thing in the morning and since I have to get to work early in order to get a decent parking spot, why not have art with my coffee before work? It makes it easier for me to start my work day...

ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Jo. See you at the class this morning.
ReplyDeleteI do like this - the very complex colourful background with the writing and trees, and the strong focal point of the face.
ReplyDeleteYou're very creative - on your journal and how you work with it :) - good idea to make your art whenever you have a moment for it!
ReplyDeleteHappy PPF!

This is a lovely page! I'm very curious about your process (in your car : ). Do you spend all week on one page? Also, how do you juggle journaling and wet paint? I'd love a post describing your process on a page from start to finish - I'm currently stuck! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful ..... Love the colours, love the face, love everything ....
ReplyDeleteHi Joanna! Cool Journal page. Now you have a link to my blog.....which I don't post to very much anymore. But you may want to check out the old posts if you get bored. Have a good holiday!
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, I love this one with the insertion of the piece that looks like her thought of peace in the woods or mountains. Have a good week and thanks for stopping by my blog. I may get into the whole journal thing after the holidays.
ReplyDeleteWow ~ your journal page is awesome *and* I love the sound of that traveling art journal bag!
ReplyDeleteI use to write my books before work. I too went early to beat the horrendous traffic. Made it almost a 12 hour day for me. Your art is fabulous: the colors, the way they are arranged, and the illustration. Blessings, Janet PPF
ReplyDeleteI love that you do this; grabbing time when you can. Great page too!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful that you are making journaling a priority! I don't really come to life that early but your man's face is really lovely and mysterious. You are doing a great job and diving into your subconscious at an early hour gives your work freshness and life. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. I love the dramatic effect of the not-flesh tone colours of your face.
ReplyDeleteWow! Great idea to journal in the car! Whatever gets you going do it! I really like the colors and mood of your page. Congrats on being featured on PPF!!!
