Theater

This is a mixed media piece inspired by Illustration Friday's Theme -Theater.


In the mail I had received a Pocket Friday packet of goodies I won from http://artandimagesbykim.ning.com/

So most of the images are from Kim. I was so excited I could put the images to use right away!I may try to get a better picture for you on a different day, but for now I just had to share. It reminds me of how I love theater!! I miss being able to go as often as I used to. Hope you are having a great weekend. ~Theresa

Happy Earth Day!

I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in. ~John Muir, 1913, in L.M. Wolfe, ed., John Muir, John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir, 1938

On December 7, 1972. From NASA: View of the Earth as seen by the Apollo 17 crew traveling toward the moon.

Quote from Star Riches

Art is when you hear a knocking from your soul - and you answer. ~Star Richés
This is a quote that I thought I would share and if you are an artist you are sure to relate to it.
When you deny yourself time to create you are not taking care of your soul. Life can get in the way of being creative. We all must find ways to take the time to answer. Take a look at what you love and create art!

Happy Easter!

Cupcakes, Flowers, Dying Easter Eggs and a journal page background for what happens when all the sugar wears off! Happy Easter Everyone!

Inspired by a magazine ad
I created the backgrounds in my art journal. I have three journals going at once. One just collage, one acrylic and collage and this one a variation of many types. This allows me to let things dry. I do sometimes however use a blow dryer to speed things up and stay working on the same journal book. I have about 10 pages to go to complete this book! I can't wait to start on the next one! There are several visual journal classes via online. If interested leave me a comment and I will email you some information! Stampington Magazine has a publication dedicated to Journals. http://www.stampington.com/html/art_journaling_w09.html
This is published a few times a year and is great for inspiration. Just don't get too overwhelmed when you start your own. Create your own style. Experiment and most of all have fun!

Mixed Media Fairy Painting

This is a closer look at the fairy painting. I am back to the work room for some art journal work.

Mixed Media Fairy Painting

I have been taking an Organic Dimensions Class.
This is the latest that I have been working on.
I wanted her to look as though she was gazing in the water. I used colors related to nature. The collage paper I used had flowers and I muted them by painting over it. I found a few fairy quotes but don't know that I will add them. Haven't quite decided if I am done.
Spread your wings and let the fairy in you fly!
Fairies are invisible and inaudible like angels. But their magic sparkles like nature.
