Linking up to the wonderful Friday Face Off hosted by the talented and wonderful Nicole & Art for Fun Friday hosted by the wonderful Gillena and for Art Journal Journey, hosted by Elizabeth, Erika and Mia.
This week I was at my desk doodling and sketching.
I tried to stay off my phone as much as possible.
Self portrait practice
I am using the reflection in my window to draw the self portraits.

DeleteI'm always so jealous of those who can draw, your art is beautiful! I love the junk journaling too! I got into it a few years back but never got far with it. Maybe if I join a challenge or something I can do it. I want to junk journal scrapbook (Like a full scrapbook) but I feel like I wouldn't stick with it.

Thank you Gillena! Happy Sunday! Many blessings! :)
DeleteMaria,
ReplyDeleteI like all of your doodles and artwork! You did a nice job with your self portrait. I wish I had time to do the challenge but I will get around to attempting my hand at this one. I thought your paper art with the cute little ghosts at the end and the spooky house with the ghost. That one, reminded me of my childhood Halloween for some reason. :) Have a doodletastic week, my dear!
Thank you so much! have a wonderful and lovely week full of creativity and fun!
DeleteYour autumn photography is stunning, Maria. It perfectly reflects the beautiful colors of this season. Your self portraits are wonderful as well - They show the different moods and expression we as human beings experience.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Carola! Have a wonderful week!
