I have not much to show, but I didn't want to stay away for another week. My art diary has long been neglected, but I did do a few more pages. At least, I tried, but it didn't turn out so well. I had been making a drawing on one double page, and then I felt like playing with some inks on the next two pages. Turns out some of that ink just went straight through my page to the drawings I already made. So it's all a bit messy, but hey, that's what my life looks like at the moment anyway, so maybe it's fitting ;-)
Here's my ink play:
I was getting a bit bored with the collage so I decided to just make marks and "find" things in them. Here's what I found:
No writing on there yet, but it's a start, right!?
And this is the spread with the two figures that got a bit of the ink on them:
Oh well.... It bothered me in the beginning but I'm used to it now, and there will be some writing around it so it won't be so obvious anymore.
I have one more ink-drawing too that I didn't show yet:
I'm planning on getting some more stuff in my Society6-shop. I have gravely ignored it this year....
That's it for now. I really hope next week I can show you the start of a new painting...
I'm looking forward to paying my friends at Paint Party Friday a visit this weekend! Thanks for being here, and thanks to all who have already purchased one of my calendars! I can't see who purchases it, so I can't thank you personally unless you tell me, but know that I really appreciate all of your lovely comments!
I'll finish with some funnies :-)
my heart melts when I see this .... look how content it looks :-) - sooo cute ♥
And of course also some to think about ...
something I REALLY need to remind myself of ...
Bye for now. Take care and enjoy your day ♥ ♥ ♥
I always love your 'funnies'! Thank you for the laughs! :D

I hear you-sometimes the art has to step aside a bit, but even just throwing some paint or collage on a blank page is something. Your projects are beautiful. And I am totally loving your map calendar and look forward to seeing it daily in my art room:) Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Linda ♥

ReplyDeletehello my sweet friend. I think your art looks awesome and that you fit anything in to your heavy schedule is great. I especially love the woman looking over the shoulder. Hugs. Have a great restful weekend!

ReplyDeletesuch beautiful work and the funnies are a great mood lifter lol,,, I love that muddy dog!!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just gotta play with colors even if they run through to the other pages. Besides, I like the effect. The girls in stripes are really cool. And the drawing is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love it when you share your process. Your ability to "find' things is such a gift. Better too much to do than too little. Happy PPF

ReplyDeleteI like the ink that seeped through to the other side... would have not guessed it wasn't suppose to be there.
thank you for the funnies.
Als je het niet weet dan is het of het zo hoort,en als het klaar is met tekst.
ReplyDeleteis het gewoon mooi!!
je inkt tekening met de dame ziet er mooi uit, ze mag er zijn.
Dat rommelige hoort er even bij wegens tijd gebrek
Denise wens je veel inspiratie,bij je nieuwe schilderij.
