Painting in the art journal brings such freedom-- just try it. Try anything you want. I went with big flowers and used colors out of my regular zone. So much fun!

An art journal spread with loose, large flowers in a variety of colors such as purple, white, red, or yellow, white, green. The corners of their page are painted dark and in the center of the whole spread are the words "try it." It's a fairly abstract and expressive art piece.

Sweet little winter fairy. Sugarplum? Silvermist? Snowflake?

A ghost like character made of textiles. A fairy with wings, white hair and a white dress wearing a crown.

Nay! I stopped my scroll right here thinking, "this is so cool." Love the color, sad, pondering bird, and movement through swirls. AND absolutely do it again...many times: see where it goes and how it heals

Here was a quick piece that I honestly think was kind of a flop…what do you think? Yay or nay?

I’d love to redo it someday, it holds special meaning despite its shortcomings <3

#art #blueskyartist #traditionalart #painting #bird #memoir #memorial #purple #coloraday #pinkmon #grief #hope #animal
A wistful bird stares off into the distance, turned away from the viewer. Cool blue, pink, and purple form the painting, and the background is abstracted. It gives a feeling of unsettled numbness and false calm. This was a piece born of grief, and someday I will repaint it to better capture the feeling. This bird stayed with me for many months, and she deserves to be recognized.

This is the biggest piece I've ever worked on, 12x12 feet. It's painted on a drop cloth. It is going to hang in an activity center.
#acrylicpaint #acrylicart #mural #tree #bird #birdsnest #birdhouse #stenciling #flowers #brown #green #dropcloth #artyear #artsky #onlybeautifulthings
This is a 12 by 12 feet drop clock. That is painted with a large tree. The trunk of the tree is painted with several different colors of brown in patterned stencils. There are green leaves. The ground has some green swirls representing grass, there are three flowers on the right-hand side. There is a window into the tree trunk. There is also a hanging bird house and on the left a bird's nest with a bird and an egg in it.

So I managed a quick collage using some stuff that's been lying around my desk!
Abstract collage background using odd pieces of torn papers and some floral printed tissue paper. Focal point is a vintage image of a little boy. I added some butterfly wings to him. Embellished the whole thing some teeny tiny gems and a wooden butterfly embellishment.

I want art thats made by people, because i want to connect with people. I don't care if that art is made for personal reasons or for a coca cola commercial, i want to see art and think about the person who made it. How they got here. why they became an artist. What inspires them.
idk.

disburse: to pay out money

disperse: to scatter or thin out until it all disappears. People and fog can both disperse.

dispurse: not a word, but if it were, it would mean when your handbag isn't functioning correctly

Being yourself is a risk; take it anyway.
Photo by Desiray Green. A mysterious figure stands in the middle of a rural road, completely obscured by a large bunch of shiny black balloons. The backdrop features a cloudy sky and a hint of farmland stretching into the distance. Wearing a white skirt and a black top, the person holds the balloons, creating a stark contrast. If these balloons were thoughts, where would they carry you?

Sepia-toned landscape. Not a total success, but I'm still learning how to layer.
