listen

be still

Being still and finding time to listen and think seems to be a fading art in a world bent on going faster and faster.

finding ourselves and losing ourselves at the same time

I'm loving the freedom that art journals give me to experiment and to work on one-page or two-page spreads.  With time always at a premium, I've begun leaving my supplies and journal projects out on the dining room table during the week so that I can take advantage of any down time that comes my way.

This started out as a painted page that I was ultimately dissatisfied with so I laid down a piece of scrap book paper, drew the feather with pencil, added some minimal color with gel pens, and completed the lettering with a fine tip Sharpie, gel pens, and a metallic silver Sharpie.
