Art Journal Month – Go Rest

Here’s today’s page. I am still enjoying the watercolors.

I’ve been working really hard for the last few days trying to prepare the content for my winter 2011 classes at Big Picture Classes. So much so that my arms are hurting from typing and I am tired and worn out. So this morning, after I wrote another lesson I told myself that I wasn’t going to get the second one done. I had originally intended to write two lessons today. But I am completely spent. So I told myself it’s ok to rest. Things will be ok. They will get done.

I used watercolors, some beads, ribbon, and flowers. Pretty simple. I wanted the beads on the top right to look like clouds and the starfish to feel like the sun. I don’t know if it worked and the leaves are way too shiny and too many. But despite all that I still like it..
