All the buildings and trees in this piece were made with one continuous line. Then the colour and details were added.

Here are the photos that popped up when I typed 180 into the search box.





































…adding water to the markers helped give it a watercolour effect

…a departure from my art journal
I really enjoy fibre arts and whenever I can add yarns and threads to my work it gives me a great deal of satisfaction. This woven piece was done on an 8 x 8 inch stretched canvas.

…to another page that I prepped earlier in the week
This page was a lot of fun. I really didn’t know how I was going to approach the marks that I had laid down but I remembered how I used to create birds from scraps of paper. I decided to use the blobs like I would paper scraps and the plaid below became a fence.

Here is what the original piece looked like.

I love typing in the number into the search box on my photos page. I never know what’s going to come up. Try it, it’s a lot of fun.























It’s so cool when some of photos actually have the number 178 in them. Can you find it?

…day three in my art journey
After a relaxing day at the outdoor spa in Collingwood we drove back to the cottage and I pulled out my sketchbook to bc start my third piece of art. This one was more detailed and took some time but I’m loving the process.

…it’s all about slowing down
My inspiration is from Amy Maricle’s book Draw Yourself Calm.
Day 2 of my art journey in 2025.







…it’s been close to a year since I’ve pulled out my art supplies
I’m at my daughter’s cottage for several days and since she’s working up here we both thought it would be a good time for me to start putting some marks onto paper again. I gathered up a few supplies and my mixed media art journal and started with baby steps towards continuing my art journey.
It’s the perfect setting. Quiet and restful with wonderful views of the forest and the falling snow. Here’s my first piece after playing with collage and mark making.
