january pages




sepia skies
inspired me this month
and a flock of sparrows that seem to want to hang
out in the radiant crab tree...

"hope is that thing with feathers..."

bird drawing on paper mounted on canvas

I prepped the pages this month with gesso
and journaled directly on the gesso
and then I used colored pencil to create the
sepia sky background...




above, I used one of my sky photos ...
you know how I love the sky...
and I used it to create a transfer on muslin
I also used it as my inspiration for the background and to
obscure my text...
