Mixed Media Canvases

Now, I don't always make canvas art, because I'm to cheap to buy canvas, but their was an art fair this summer, and these are three canvases I sold.

Let's Catch up on Journaling

So, I apologize, but I have not posted in a long time, but I don't think that many people actually read this, it's more for my own amusement.  I have been busy with art journaling so here are some pictures:

This is not my favorite page by any means, I did however like how the eye's tears are watering the flower.

This page used a lot more paint than I normally use.

I was having a rough day when I made this.  I doodled my feelings and then covered it in paint.  It was a very therapeutic process.

This page is one of my favorites.  I used a credit card to make the shelves, and I cut the door out of a catalog.

For this page, I used some candy wrappers, they were a pain in the butt to stick down.

As you know, I really like the Hero's of Olympus series by Rick Riordon.  After the book came out I created this art journal and a series of icads to go with it.

This time I experimented with water-soluble oil pastels for the face and smudged circles.

I created this one with the idea of painting the images I wanted instead of stamping or paper cutouts.  I also added tissue paper which I don't do often.

I created this page for my birthday.  I used gesso for the first time on this piece as well.

For this page I experimented with adding magazine page cutouts.

Journal Pages 4-7

So it appears I didn't post a few of my journal pages so I'll do that now.

For this one I didn't want to use any paint or mod podge.  I call it the dry technique.

For this one I used fabric for the first time on the mesh tree.

I added oil pastels this time for some light blue detailing.

For this one, I covered the corners with embroidery thread and then painted over it.
