I woke up at 3 am with a headache and nausea. After drinking a lot and taking headache medicine I was able to get back to sleep. Then I woke up half an hour early from a dream. In the dream, I used tubes of watercolor on tissue paper to make something layered and beautiful. … Continue reading Dream

Birthday Girl
Today is my 36th birthday. My husband has spoiled me all day. Well, he always spoils me, but today he got me paints and tempera paint sticks and gelatos. Also, he got me a lovely art book.

Reading these books … Continue reading Seminary Reading
Digital Art Journaling
I have been trying to create digital art journaling pages for therapeutic purposes. They are a blend of scrapbooking supplies, collage cut outs I've made, digital stickers, and textures added in Procreate. I am doing everything I can to get myself on an upswing. Nothing fancy or professional, but making them is helpful.
Abstract Creations
Today I did some therapeutic paintings and took some abstract photos. Abstraction is so freeing. I know I should learn to make more realistic art, but even when I am browsing in museums, the first art I'm drawn to is always the abstract stuff. I love the liberation of color and texture from reality. If … Continue reading Abstract Creations
