"An artist is an explorer. He should begin by seeking himself, seeing himself act. Then, not restraining itself. And above all, not being easily satisfied."
-- Henri Matisse
Helloooooo! I have a few new Art Journaling pages to share and an update on what I'm calling the world's largest palette cleaner - a huge-to-me 30 x 40 canvas - that has been sitting on my studio floor awaiting extra inspiration or, which is really the case, awaiting any left over paint, bits and/or bobs from my journaling adventure. But I digress. Wanna see my latest explorations? Yay! Here we go:
Days 17 - 18: Inspired by my fav colors and a black-and-white illustration of an octopus
Days 19 - 20: Inspired by the documentary, "Exiled by Choice."
Days 21-22: Inspired by vintage illustrations, ledgers and children's "Word Mastery" lists.
Playing catch up with days 13-14: Inspired by Dina Wakely's new book, Art Journal Courage.
As far as that way-very-big "palette cleaner" I was referring to earlier, here are a few detail / WIP shots of what's currently going on there:
And here she is as a whole:
Thanks for taking a peek!
To love, art and artistic exploration,

Wonderful! Completely wonderful! :D
I absolutely love your journal pages; it looks like you might be gearing up for the next Summer of Color!
That big canvas will be wonderful. Anxious to see more.
Sending blessings from here on the farm where it's a cold night, perfect for quiet reading and a little more art.
Wow, you are on a roll! The bubblegum octopus page is my favorite so far; it just makes me happy. :)
Fantastic share Kristin some amazing colours on your pages, love how you get some amazing colours and shapes going on and your huge canvas will be amazing when you are done :-) xxx
Oh man... that is a HUGE canvas! Go you on tackling that monster! I love where it is going so far. The colors are amazing.
I read your previous post about being behind and give you a firm "no such thing" from my hypocrite self, as I'm currently beating myself up over the same thing but WHATEVER. Be nice to you <3
