Day 7- Mangos
Day 7- Mangos. I was inspired during a drawing session with my 3 yr. old granddaughter last week to explore the mango tree theme. 

Day 8- Be Yourself
 Day 8- Be Yourself. This page was inspired by a conversation with my Pastor about Authenticity. 
Day 9 Unfinished 
 Day 9-Unfinished Doodle. This is one of the pages I am talking about. I traced a stencil and didn't get much further with the idea.
Day 10-Zentangle Stencil
 Day 10-Zentangle Stencil. Variation on the previous page. Not sure if this is finished or not. 
Day 11-Sing Out Loud
Day 11- Sing Out Loud. I love to sing! I sing in my head mostly, but sometimes I sing out loud. This particular day was a Sing Out Loud day! 

Day 12- Circles
Day 12- Circles. I've been saving this cut out from BH& G magazine for awhile and it just seemed to go on this page. I love the colors the design, everything about it! I did add some white dots to give it a little more oomph and left a nice space to journal. 

Ok, so there you have it for the week. I'm pleased with some of the pages and some need work but I hope that by posting them here you will be encouraged to know that even when something doesn't turn out as expected not to give up! A little tweak here and there and pretty soon it is a great page! 
Have a great week and remember to Go Make Art!

Day 1 Another Day In Paradise






















Day 1- Another Day in Paradise-As I left work this afternoon out on the island and crossing over two Causeways to the mainland,  the sun was shining brightly and the sky was a brilliant blue. It's another beautiful day in paradise. I painted the background with bright tropical acrylics to jump start the piece, adding paper napkin flowers and lots of rub-ons. I'm on a mission to use up scrapbooking supplies! 
Day 2-Seeds of Kindness























 Day 2-Seeds of Kindness was inspired by a birthday card. Left over scrap papers and more acrylic paints and oil pastel crayons used. 
Day 3-Calendar 















Day 3- Calendar for November. I saw this post on Jessica Sporn's blog about this group http://thekathrynwheel.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/november-ready.html  that made monthly art calendars and thought that might be fun to do in 2013. You can check out the group here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/2010_calendar_365_challenge/.
Day 4-The Love of Art

























Day 4: The Love of Art. We often take for granted the gifts we are given such as the use of our hands. A friend told me of a young girl that paints by holding her brush in her mouth, she has limited movement and no use of her arms. I was so touched by this story that she loved art so much. 

Hope you enjoyed my journal pages! Come back to see more next week!
