Our Xmas tree is set up in the corner this year. The idea was not to take up too much room…as summer in Australia is spent watching lots of cricket on the TV.

new fountain pen…
mail arrived today with this fountain pen I bought off Jane at the Institute of Cute.
of course I had to quickly try it…
along with some pens from the Byron Art shop…
And on the wall across the road from the art shop was this graffiti style mural…
it wasn’t there last time we were down there.
The art shop is in the industrial estate so there are big cement walls for a canvas…
…and just because the colour is beautiful, a pic of a rose in my garden!
faces…
This is the face with a litte more work to the page…liking it more than the first one.
Radiant Faces…
The beginnings, of a second attempt, at the first lesson in Radiant Faces. I’m happier with this one, as I changed the paper/book to a strathmores media journal…and the paper is so much better when water s added to the page.
Anyway I will keep on working on it and come back later with the finished page.
Radiant faces online class…
After watching the first lesson on radiant faces online class, I spent some time working on this page..
The lesson was taught by Jane Davenport, and was full of inspiration.
Radiant Faces online class
There is a new online class starting on Oct 1st at effywild.com called Radiant Faces. Face drawing /painting with a wonderful line up of teaches including Dina Wakely.
new art journal…
I started a new art journal. I added watercolour pages to an old book cover to make this new journal. So far I have worked on a couple of pages.
I want to add more meaning to my pages, but I seem to have difficulty with adding words to them. Anyway maybe that will come in time.
The reason I called my blog soul treat art journaling was because it is my treat , to myself to play with paint, pencils, paper and colour.
After a few days of heavy rain and grey skies, there is some signs of spring on the way. The days are a little warmer.
And the first baby birds of the year are squeaking for food all day, keeping their parents busy.
