In The Art Room

 Happy Sunday! 

Linking Up to Sunday in the Art Room  Hosted by the lovely and talented Nicole.

This is my art space. I am grateful for this space even if it is small. I don't mind at all. I just always need to have a window to look outside. I need to feel close to nature. 

Recently working with watercolours.

I love working with watercolours so much. 

Acrylic Markers

Fun to work with makers and doodle.

Hello and happy Tuesday! 

Linking up to T Stands for Tuesday Hosted by lovely Elisabeth

&

Art Journal Journey hosted this month by the lovely Erika  with the Theme "What's Up"

What's Up with me...

I created my winter mood Board in the Art room,

It is always fun to put together a bunch of things that I like,

I enjoy using various fabrics, yarn, ribbons, pictures, postcards and handmade items like the felt heart.

I made a hanging heart with yarn

I do feel I need more practice with this because I tend to put too much yarn in one area than another but I do think the heart looks pretty. 

I created a pink felt heart and added glitter glue on the ends of it

I would like to make some with lavender and a lace trim in the future. 

A closer look at the winter Moodboard in my Art Room

Having a cuppa coffee. This is my daughter's cute mug.

Currently Reading and enjoying

A few stationary favourites on my desk

I use all of these daily in my journal

I love little stamps and would like to have more. They are fun to play with. 

One of my cats 

this is

Auggie

He is never amused only if it involves food. 

I hope you all have a lovely week,

thank you for your visit and your wonderful comments. 

Thank you,

I tried to keep busy doing a lot of art.

Acrylic Paints

I also did decoupage this week! 

I bought a vase and napkins from the Dollar tree

It was very fun to make

I don't mind that there is texture on the vase 

October Journal Layout

The moleskin notebook threads are falling apart and I am not sure it will last but I will keep going and using tape. I don't like to start something and not finish it. 

Acrylic Landscape Painting

I also made little pumpkins but not sure why my photo is not uploading so here is the youtube short.

I am truly grateful and happy that I focused on art this week. 

 I do need to find a balance though. lol

I just keep going.

One thing I learned this week is to take good care of your self,

Treat your self with love and kindness.

Thank you all for your visit and your wonderful comments. 

I truly appreciate each and everyone of you!

Happy September! Friday Face Off ART

 

Autumn has arrived early

I really enjoy the change of colours

I count my blessings and try to be grateful for each day

Currently trying to read more.

My brain jumps to so many thoughts it's making my reading harder. 

I sit trying to read and my thoughts and brain start saying

"try this! don't forget that! make dinner! clean the house! pick up the mail!" 

lol It's all good, I will keep on going and hopefully be able to deeply dive into the storyline. 

We don't eat out often so last weekend we went to Wimpy's and I had the turkey bacon sandwich. 

It was incredible. Absolutely loved going out. 

This is for Nicole's "Friday Face Off" 

 https://beadwright.blogspot.com/ 

I used markers for this face and also pastels and some paint as well. 

I didn't measure the face, I just went with the flow. 

I enjoy drawing faces and I use to do it more often. 

Thank you Nicole for hosting this art party. 

This was a quick sketch 

another quick sketch

Last Year I painted this lovely face

Thank you all for visiting and for your wonderful comments. I appreciate you all!

I make a lot of art shorts on Youtube and this is my recent journal collage

I really love paper and glue. 

Maybe I will start working on a face and add paper to the faces! 

Off I go to create!

Hope you are all well my friends!

Much love, light and good health!

Love, 

Maria

March Artwork

March is almost over and it's so strange because it went by so fast. My lymphedema arm has been bothering me and I need to go get my arm drained and also get fitted for a new sleeve. My strabismus is getting worse and I am hoping that I can see my specialist soon. I'm emotional... I did a lot of artwork this month and I would like to make more. I would like to explore ink and fountain pen. I look forward to using my new Leuchtturm1917 Notebook and sketchbook in April. I would like to draw and paint on location like in a cafe or in Nature. Drawing outdoors has many challenges and I would like to explore and develop as an artist. Personal growth is important to me. I would like to scroll less. Stay off my phone and keep more active with things I enjoy doing. I haven't uploaded a vlog and I love vlogging so much. I will try my best to upload in April. April is my Birthday month. I can't believe I am going to be 49. One more year in my 40's.  Also my hubby and daughter celebrate in April as well and we have Easter too. It's a busy month. Carlton Cards kindly sent me a lovely package and I can't wait to share everything with you. I will be decorating for Birthdays and Easter and sharing it with you. 

Enjoying this month...

I love art, writing and painting. I enjoy reading and recently I am participating in a play which I am enjoying so much. I hope you are all good and I truly wish you a very amazing and wonderful April. 

Thank you so much for reading my blogpost.

I appreciate you

You are amazing and wonderful!

Stay positive and do things you love. 

Have a happy April!
