i have a new journal.  it's black!  this is the first entry.

i was a little scared of it.  but started with stencils.

then stopped for a long time. i drew in a scene

of the ocean and painted it.  then, painted over it.

now i love my journal and can't wait to play more in it. 





a tiny collaged face.  it fits in my palm. 


happy friday!


sharing with paint party friday!

  1. I love the intensity of the colours in your first painting. The lines are full of movement and create interest! It would be interesting to have a journal full of black pages. Thanks for sharing!

  5. Isn't is scary to just jump in and start. Once that first bit of paper or paint is applied a sigh of relaxation can begin. I love working on black.
