SPILLING OVER

The theme for the March Sketchbook Challenge is Spilling Over.  This is Toby "Spilling Over" in a shoebox he decided to take a nap in.  This is painted in watercolors.  I was having trouble getting this posted, but now I'm back in business.  

Have a Happy Easter everyone!

OPPOSITES

This is my entry for the February challenge "OPPOSITES".  Violet is the opposite of yellow on the color wheel so I thought some violet bananas were in order.  They were painted entirely with Twinkling H20's shimmering watercolors.  Since the paint is shiny, this is the best picture I could take.  I kept getting a hot spot from the flash. The actual journal page is much more violet, this picuture looks more fushia.

 

I can't wait to see what March's challenge will be.  I won't wait till the last minute to do my entry!

HIGHLY PRIZED



My Stuffed Snake



This is the stuffed snake my favorite uncle won for me at Adventure Land in Addison, IL, some 45 years ago. I still have the snake but it has seen better days. My uncle was only 21 when he passed away. This always reminds me of him.

Below is a picture of the snake today.  He is missing his tongue, but I thought my sketchbook should have one!  I could never part with it.

This is the actual stuffed snake.

Sketchbook Challenge - In The Beginning...

My sketchbook for The Sketchbook Challenge

I decided to participate in the challenge so I would do more art journaling.  My goal is to do at least one page for each monthly challenge.  January's theme is "Highly Prized".  Well, now that I have memorialized my goal in writing,  I'll just have to make sure I do it! 

My friend Kelly Hoernig is also participating in the challenge and posting her work to her blog.  To go to Kelly's blog, click here.  To go to Kelly's website click here.
