The first color I associate with the ocean is blue but the more I thought about it the entire rainbow is in the ocean. The plants, fish, birds, the driftwood, the shells, all the stuff in the ocean is full of color. I started with blue for this journal page but ended up adding a [...]
My virtual vacation is taking to Turks and Caicos today! This page brings back such wonderful vacation feelings for me. I can almost hear the waves and see my kids para-sailing high above the beach. Notice I said my kids, not me. Best thing I brought in my traveling art case- the [...]
I’m on my virtual vacation, lounging by the ocean in the summer sun. I needed a vacation, so I took one! I couldn’t get away to the beach, being in a land locked state so I decided I could at least take one virtually! All my friends, new and old, are welcome to join me [...]
I am so glad I booked this virtual vacation! I needed it! Just looking at this photo reminds me of the creative energy the ocean was sending to me! I used markers, paint, gesso, and oil pastels for this page in my altered book. The waves must be getting to me because I don’t even [...]

Okay, really this fish was just [...]

A butterfly has come out of its cocoon today! I started with a scrap page from my jumbo art journal. I had painted a bunch of butterfly die cuts and something else that left a random paint residue on my page. This unimpressive “caterpillar” led me to the “butterfly”. At this stage I was starting [...]
