Here are a few of the art journal pages that I made in 2018 and love:

I did very little watercolor sketchbook sketching this year — which was a bit of a surprise to me.  Something to remember to pick up again next year.  And looking through these pages I see a few common denominators:

  • Faces (duh)
  • Pattern
  • Intense Color
  • There's an undone quality — almost raw — that I really respond to.

Do you see other common denominators?  I'd love to know!

  • Fascinating. I see unending creative power oozing out of every inch of paper. Making the most out of life demonstrated in art. A very colorful life. I love color too… found throughout my home. I am striving to continue to add more color, including in the garden. I love seeing color in action right here in this blog.
