5 Days 5 Ways Challenge – Trees – Bonus Day and a Roundup

So I didn’t do this one for Kal’s art challenge. This one is actually almost two years old. But it was such a good fit for this challenge and a different medium so I decided it was worth posting.

I did this for the second creative therapy catalyst back in March 2008. The journaling reads:
when i feel like my problems are huge
and about to swallow me
i visit nature
i look at the towering trees
the endless ocean
and it reminds me
that i am a very small part of this earth
tiny
and my problems, i realize
are not so big.

It’s using acrylic paints and paper. I had used a lot of what I learned from Paulette Insall’s organic backgrounds class.

And here they are all of them.

What a wonderful start to my journal. I plan to put lots of the other papers in in this week and complete it as a journal so I can start actually writing in it. Maybe in a few weeks I can do another one of these with a different theme.
