My Round Robin Journal Cover
I'm back! It's been almost two years since I've posted here. Life gets in the way, as they say. As punishment, I could not figure out how to get into the admin part of my blog.....but that's not important now because HERE I AM! So, what has prompted me to post after all this time? Well, my friend Cindy decided to do a Round Robin art journal project and asked if I wanted to participate. Of course I do! Each participant is to put together a book of watercolor or mixed media paper in the size specified by Commander Cindy, paint the cover and send it on to the next person. There are 16 participants, so the entire project will be in the works for 16 months.
As luck would have it, I've been studying the work of English (living in Spain) painter Emma Petitt. I've taken three of her wonderful online classes and have learned so much from her. So, in Emma's style, with flowing red hair and lots of turquoise, I painted the cover of my Round Robin journal (pictured) and sent it off to the next person. Sometimes, seeing your work on a computer screen gives you a fresh view, as if seeing it for the first time. I now know that, when this journal returns to me, I will be adding text.
It will be great incentive to post on this blog by sharing all of my work in these 16 journals, so please check back to see what's new. Your comments are most welcome.
