I did two separate opposing journal pages on the theme of “Sea Me”. On the right, there’s a lot going on under the surface but on the left there is the eternal pattern of nature.
Sea Me
Strengths
The threads of strengths can be broken individually but not when they are woven together.
Picture of Me
It takes darkness to see the stars. I have been doing more drawing and watercolor recently so I started this as a charcoal sketch and then brought in watercolours and markers/drawing pens.
Stages of Page Development:
Change One Thing
What do we do when we feel “stuck”? I pick one thing and change it and more changes tend to happen. This page was done with watercolour, markers and pen.
Looking Forward
Locked in by the Covid-19 epidemic I am most looking forward to a time when we will be able to travel again. I was remembering sitting in the sun in a brightly coloured deck chair on the deck of the Manitoulin Island Ferry, sailing from Tobermory Ontario on a hot July day.
Current Situation
Life on Zoom. I feel conflicted about Zoom (and other conferencing apps). I know that people want to connect but I frequently feel trapped and stuck in the meetings. It’s a strange new experience. I’ve used these applications for training events and information sessions for years but never socially.
Perfect Day
My perfect day is one with lightness of spirit, full of listening to music, reading books, creating.
Stream
Life in bubbles connected in the electronic stream.
Inspiration 2
The prompt this week in “A Layer a Day” group was to take away something from Pinterest and make it our own. But after doing a single page and looking down at my slippers I wasn’t sure if I hadn’t been inspired by my slippers so I drew them on the opposite page.
Coincidence or Inspiration?
Inspiration
Inspired by another artist, I decided to try watercolours & doodles.
