sister & i had great fun car, cafe, and house sketching on our roadtrip through california.
as much as i love creating & viewing the visual journal pages of myself & others, the pure joy of creating pictures with a pen or paint brush appeals to my giggly inner child slash mad scientist creator.
let’s make people. let’s build trees with a paint brush.
i’m going to make those people hold hands. look the lady’s skirt is falling down. the man doesn’t have feet.
wheeeeeeeeee!
someone’s sad. someone else has clown lips.
and so on
and so forth.
in other news moss cottage is getting some freshly painted exterior trim from tippy top to bottom. in one of these colors:
i’ll give you a hint. it’s not white or tan.
my formerly purple patio/courtyard door is going to also get a makeover in one of these colors:
i’ll give you another hint. it’s not grey, brown, tan, or yellow.
Your pages make me so happy to look at.
Your sketching and watercolor are not only exuberant but extraordinarily loving grabs of your experience.
I love your night sky/Milky Way and those orange seagulls! Very curious to see what colors you paint Moss Cottage trim and door!
LOVE all of the wonderful sketches and paintings! Tee-totally wonderful! Hmmmm…what colors for trim and door??? Before I saw the colors I thought “I bet she’s going red…but then I saw the colors and thought maybe Spanish Red (which is more of a clay red.) and All Ablaze. I just don’t know…Can’t wait to see though! Have a beautiful day, Mary Ann!
Forgot to say…I am really into corals right now so I love bird of paradise!
me too!!!! that’s the one!!!!
Woot! woot!
Love your journal pages so much! Can’t wait to see which colors you have chosen.
Oooooootra vez ? Always you inspire me !
Es que me encanta ver los dibujos , la libertad con que están hechos, adoro la postal de la casita azul!
Creo que para el exterior de la casa vas a escoger el rojo español o el rojo Segovia , preciosos…y para la puerta del patio ? …pues un southern charm….encanto sureño .
Pero qué bonita va a quedar tu casa!
¡estás cerca! he elegido tomate seco, pero sólo para el ajuste de madera. y por la puerta … ave del paraíso…se me permite mi mala traducción!!!
Genial…..también me encantan esos colores ! Tomates secados al sol ….ummmmm, delicious!
Hey sister I saw one of the spiral arms of the milky way galaxy tonight, it looked exactly like your drawing. true story.
I just admire your freedom so much of expression so much! Each one of these are so beautiful…thank you!
Love your sketches, always have but …
you’re getting even better & better!
Can’t wait to see the color selection!
I so admire how you things done,
while I just think about them.
Your posts make me yearn for a road trip with my sis. We’re hoping for next summer. Don’t ya just love the names of the paint colors. That would be a fun job – naming paint colors.
You go for it. Color makes the world go round……. I am loving your journal. Especially the blues at the beach and lucky you seeing those poppies.
Picking by the ‘nots’ may be a v. good thing.
