    The right track

    August 7, 2014 - By 

    A couple days ago I sat down to journal. The train image literally fell into my lap as I bumped a stack of papers while reaching for something else. I often take that as a message. “Use this…you won’t be sorry.”  20140803_6728

    An unexpected thing happened to the bright shiny image as I applied it with liquid matte medium…the image “aged”. I love it when things work out like that!!

    I went in search of words and “the railroad tracks” were on the second page I picked up. Again…meant to be.

    Last night I was perusing Pinterest and came across this Will Rogers quote:

    Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

    SOC4: week 6

    July 14, 2014 - By 

    Oh so sad…this is it…The Summer of Color is finished. Thank you, Kristen, for once again bringing us this great summer challenge.

    Behold our last set of colors….IMG_0039Raspberry & Tangerine with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Lemon

    I immediately thought of a hibiscus. 1hibiscusflowerphotocredit

    My drawing skills aren’t the best but I think given the size and shape this is a pretty good interpretation of one.soc4w6The raspberry color is more pronounced in person…also could be the strong morning sun throwing it off a bit.

    I love it…a nice tropical flower on a cool July day in Minnesota.

    SOC4: week 4

    June 30, 2014 - By 

    I can’t believe The Summer of Color is nearing it’s end…or am I just being a glass half empty sort of gal today?  Regardless…here we are already at week 4 of 6.

    IMG_0019Pink & Apple Green with a Smudge, Splash or Pop of Dark Green

    I took the liberty of choosing a brighter pink…mainly because from the computer..down the stairs to my art zone…I’d convinced myself that it was the neon pink color that was needed. 20140630_5607Not sure why…maybe I was having a 1980’s flash back.  Mallrats… Day glo…. Hypercolor…acid wash denim…  Anyone with me?

    20140630_5611This little bit of text happened to fall into my lap…. I thought it was fitting.
