July Art Journal Pages




As I was loading the photos 
for this post, I realized that I have always
had a love affair with trees..








my first published work was
 my senior year book..
in high school,
they published a few pen and ink sketches..
my favorite was
a tree of course...

to me they represent wisdom ..
and grace..

and allowance..
they just be a tree and they do it so well...











there are two trees here, one on each page,
 in the light,
and one is in the shade...









they remind me that we always have a choice
to sit in the shade or the sun..
to be in light
or dark..








to look at things with hope or dread..







my trees holds promise..
incubating healing love and putting down roots..
allowing
new and wonderful things to grow...




ingredients: gesso, acrylic paint, walnut ink, paper ephemera, cloth, tissue papers, pencil



work goes on..
in the studio...
I have been working on my
Carte Postale collection
for the fall
and will be sharing that with you next Tuesday..

until then...

C4N!
