Hi Paint Party Friday Partyers! I hope you had a great week!
This week I managed to succesfully finish Ayala Art's 29 Faces in February Challenge. Yay! (Want to see the 29 faces I created?) And I was a little too pooped out to do much painting... :(

I still managed to do a little painting (though not on canvas). For a while now, I have been wanting to start a few new small art journals. Yes, plural. One to play around in with miscellaneous thoughts and notes, and another for quotes. I haven't started the quotes one yet but I have several quotes talking in my head that want images and paintings, so soon I will get going on it.
I started playing with circles, and this is where it took me....

Painting - pre-writing
Painting/Journal Page with some ink added for definition and writing...
Some one I met years ago said: The quality of your life is determined by the questions you ask yourself. And this page is starting to think about those questions. I will likely write more for myself later.
Hope you got lots of painting done that I can visit over the weekend! Have a great time at PPF.
(Can you believe it is already March?!! Where does that time go?!)
I keep about 20 different journals and books and they all seem to have different quotes and bits and sketches and things coming out of them... wish I was more organised and had them all separated out... going to try to hunt out one to put that quote in... it is great and have a fantastic week...xx
ReplyDeleteHappy March to you Eva and fantastic journal page.Love all the circles. Nice job. Loved all your faces for the 29 faces. Excellent work. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteOoh Eva, very intriguing. Especially the question about the quality of your life. I like this very much. Happy PPF! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool journal page! I love the circles asking questions. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI love your thought provoking, introspective journal page! Happy Paint Party Friday! Robin Panzer Art Studio 33
ReplyDeleteLove the journal page. I can't go anywhere now without my journal... :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on doing the Faces of February! The text just perfectly adds to your circle journal page!!!! I have so many different journals going at one time and I enjoy having so many for my different moods. I think I may have an incurable art journal addiction...
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect quote to start a journal with! And I love the way you have your questions in circles....wonderful! You're making me want to start my own art journal too!
ReplyDeleteSo colorful! Love that!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I am a sucker for a nice journal, and then they just sit there unused. Love your wavy questions page, and the quote that inspired it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very cheerful page with your bright colors. The addition of the text and questions is very nice.
ReplyDeleteEva ~ this flows very well ~ loving the colors ~namaste, carol (A Creative Harbor) Happy PPF ^_^ ~
ReplyDeletethis is so wonderfully colorful and excites the mind. It is good message to us all. we all need to stop asking ourselves silly unimportant questions and get to the root of what we really want to know in life. skip the molehills and climb the mountains...so to speak

love your piece this week Eva, you're really growing as an artist!
ReplyDeleteHey Eva! I love your painting, looks like floating marbles. That person had a very good idea of looking inward, I like that quote.
ReplyDeleteI love the quote about the quality of your life... so true.
ReplyDeleteThe small journals are a great idea... and your balls with 7 questions looks like it was so much fun to do. Very meditative, i'm sure. Happy PPF! xoxo
Congratulations on completing the 29 Face Challenge! :)
