Hello!
I spent several days at the beach recently, and of course I *had* to take some art supplies with me... but didn't want to take my whole studio. So I decided to take some water color postcards and a small set of watercolors. Here's what I came up with.... three variations on a simple beach scene. All three are 4" x 6" post card size.
This first one has a little bit of black pen detail added over the watercolors.
This one was inspired by some photos on Instagram. An Instagram friend went on a vacation to the virgin islands...
And this one was just playing with darker shades and blending.
I had fun playing and a wonderful time at the beach. Be back soon with more.

Art Journal Page - Plant Your Own Garden
Hello!
Wanted to share a recent page I did in my ledger journal. I used Dina Wakley MEDIA paints, some hand carved stamps, a few of my stamps from PaperArtsy (EEV05 and EEV06) a few stencils, a little collage, and some flowers drawn with a Stabilo ALL pencil.
Here's the finished background... lots of layers!
And here's the finished page. I like the simple drawn flowers, colored in with white paint when done to make them "pop" against the vibrant background.
Just a quick share today. Have a great week!
