Art Desk With Sketches and Doodles



 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.

Art Journal Journey


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.






Doodling fun

Through The Fog Paintings

 Linking up with Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date

I didn't get the dinner part for this post but I promise next post I will get the dinner part. ;)

I painted today and the prompt for today is FOG

It was very challenging and I love to learn from art challenges. 

Watercolour, acrylic and pencil 



This photo was taken when we lived in PEI.
The Fog was wonderful. 


Movement, Mood and Light Photography


Happy Thursday!

 Linking up with The Good The Random The FunLittle Things Thursday




 Hosted by the incredible Tamar.


 I've pulled the following photographs out of my archives and I must add that I do love movement, blur, light, darkness and mood in photos. There is something mysterious and wonderful about them. Here are a few that I've taken. I would like to start a series and add them to my Red Bubble account. I haven't taken my camera out of the bag and I should. I hope you have a wonderful Thursday my friends. I am heading to my art desk to create more artwork and will be posting another post today. 

A wonderful blur












Have a wonderful day!

A Slow Autumn 🍂 Morning



Linking up with Tea Stands For Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! Time is going fast my friends. 

The trees have changed colour; red, yellow, orange and brown. 

Leaves are falling and some trees are bare.

I've been enjoying Pumpkin Chai tea with milk and maple syrup from Davids Tea.

The cup is a gift from a friend. I received it before moving to PEI. 



I'm still stuck on the same books and really need to make the time to read more. 
Cold iced coffee for the afternoon and I love popcorn. This one is not my favourite flavour. 
Previously I bought the Pumpkin Spice popcorn and enjoyed that more. 


Books I need to finish by the end of this month. 





I wish you all a lovely week full of love, good health and kindness. 

Love how roses still bloom and blossom in Autumn. 


Thank you all for your visit. 
I hope you have magical, wonderful and creative week!
Lot's of prayers and love,
Maria

A Week of Creativity



I hope you are all well my friends! Happy Friday! I made a few art pieces this week and
I am happy I was able to stay creative.

They are not perfect and I believe It's okay to have many mistakes.
we learn from mistakes right?


Mixed Media piece
 I used paint, markers, stickers.

Lately I am not pleased with my artwork but I feel it's okay to feel this way and I must stay creative.
I have a feeling that I am very emotional due to my menopause. It's making me so emotional. lol
