a few journal pages

 

working in my journal, i'm realizing more and more, is such a powerful circuit into myself. i tap into what's on the surface but the surprises come when i let myself go, directionless,

and am often surprised by the outcome. Here i enjoyed playing with paint and shaping primitive faces

but even they had a loud voice that wanted to be heard. These days i am luxuriating  in the unrushed moments i spend working in my journal.

And I'm involved in home beautiful projects too; simple and inexpensive but a fingerprint that says "i care about this place, i am grateful to be here".

Thanks for stopping by, more later.

These paintings are so beautiful. They definitely have a certain energy...can't put my finger on it but it's deep and lovely and you. :)

I love that you are loving your home a little project at a time. I love that idea and have been doing a bit of it myself since you told me about it. Feels so good.

"luxuriating in the unrushed moments" wonderful words to live by in this busy busy world.
I love your primitive faces.

Love your painting and your words, they are both touching. The classes I took from you at Bellvue have stirred my imaginings and continue to do so. Thanks so much for sharing yourself.

Hi Katie, I've been visiting your blog for a long time now and I love your journal pages...and the way you express yourself.
There's just this thing I've been wondering...if you work mixed media in your journal...I assume you work with acrylics a lot. How do you prevent the pages from sticking together? Mine always do...

the quiet, powerful flow of days...awesome!
