(Edit: I have no idea why the pictures frequently disappear from this particular post.)
The girls made a fairy garden with one of the little girls they met there. Again, I tried to create a realistic depiction. It was difficult because of all the detail and light and shadow in the photo I was using. But I kept playing with it and actually I enjoy the result. It is called “Nature did most of the
work” since that is how AJ described the process.In the previous picture, I particularly liked how I drew the evergreen branches. So I did a piece just using that technique.
One morning AJ and Dani wanted to dance to “Frozen” music. This is my interpretation. Each wave represents a daughter and how I see them at this time.
What I learned:
- I enjoy visual journaling
- I’m more likely to do art when there is no wifi
- It works to start drawing as soon as I have an idea (do not overthink)
- I’m inspired by life but I like to represent abstractly
- I like playing with textures and patterns
When done, I will link to an entry with some of my other art inspired more by ideas.
This is so cool! I love the play with different styles, and how you weave visuals with words. Love it! A great activity for what we call "Luddite Night," when we do things that don't require wifi, phones, tv, nada. Just music, and candles/oil lamps, and reading or art stuff. This is so lovely, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Also Luddite night sounds great! Although I like electricity, myself. It can be a lot of fun (sometimes stressful too, haha) to simplify life down to the basics and see what we find to do with ourselves.
