Art Journal- Fall Stones

Hi!

Last weekend in Brandon was a real treat. It truly is a great town with great people!
 Now, I'm looking forward to my first Winnipeg show in months (next weekend: November 2nd and 3rd)!

Take a peek at a few new inspired stone designs.

I have been using inks more and have been having fun working in black washes. I've also been getting inspiration from the masters, a continuing trend!

Have a great day!
Thanks for visiting,

You know what I love?

lettering! and quotes! 

As if you didn't know:)

Today, I have a few "doodles" to show you from my art journal.

I love playing with lettering and quotes...fooling around with the appearance  and style of letters is so much fun.

And I love trying to find the "right" match of feeling, word and font.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Next week , please check back because it is time to give away an Inspired Stone!

The contest is in conjunction with the official announcement of the ArtRocks Fall schedule (with a new Winnipeg show added!) YEH!

Beauty in the Change

 Oh, the crunch of leaves underfoot and the picturesque walks. My favorite time of year lasts only a couple of weeks.

 It is the time that the leaves on the trees are the brightest hues of red, yellow, gold and orange. It is the time that the sky is a wonderful collage, so intense that it looks as though it must be painted on.

Or that blanket of soft leaves that initially cover the streets. Leaves that you swoosh through. And then a few days later, the swoosh has changed to a crunch as you walk. Only a short time from beginning to end, I look forward to this beauty every year.

Last weekend I had a chance to photograph some of the color around me. I hope you enjoy the pictures. As our weather in Winnipeg is showing us today, you never know how fast the change will be!

Happy Thanksgiving!
