Birds at Sea - Visual Journal Progress

I'm a navy brat.  I grew up by the water and it's just a part of our family.  Now we have to drive about 4 hours to get to the beach.  I really miss it.  I remember collecting feathers, shells, and rocks along the shore.  The waves were the best part.  Some days we would be out there all day long. There is a lake about an hour away and I'm hoping we can visit more often this summer.

   
In my last post (hummingbird)I shared the inside of a tag page I'd been working on.  I kinda felt like I had a break through.  Sometimes I feel like "is my artwork going anywhere"?


And the answer is yes!  I do feel like I'm gaining momentum.  I can honestly see the benefits from the 30-Day Doodle and 30-Day Painting challenges.  I created a freebies tab on my blog.  There your can find the 30-Day Painting challenge, check it out as I will be adding more soon.

I'm in the middle of writing an E-Course which seems a bit intimidating.  I've taught art classes in person but never online.  My computer skills are so-so and it's something I'm trying to work around.

  2. I love love your art!! I am also a butterfly lover. I'm really just a beginner at art journaling, although I have been at it for a few years, Life got in the way, and now things are slowing down (for now, LOL!!) I joined the Art Journal Junkies and getting inspired. I saw your scripture of the week and am going to put that on my blog!!

  9. Beautiful pages, the the depth and colour in your artwork...I live only 15 to thirty minutes from the ocean, and there are lakes in many directions too... I need to live by the ocean... I find the further away from it I am my skin dries up way too much!! That's why they call it beautiful B.C. I do feel blessed to live here! Must be hard not having the beach near by!

  10. Danielle, your artwork is just gorgeous. Love your style and the colours you choose. And those feathers are great! i live 2 minutes from the ocean, in eastern Canada, and cannot imagine living away from a body of water. The colours in your journal spread are very aquatic... xx
