Short But Sweet
True Story Tuesday
I went on a brief sea-side holiday with my family.
I normally pack everything EXCEPT the kitchen sink,
with grand ideas of doing SO much more.
I inevitably come home from holidays
feeling like I've somehow failed myself
for not achieving more in my 'break'!!!
So this break, I gave it up...I let go, I just let inspiration come to me.
I welcomed in with open arms
I have been having withdrawals NOT doing any art that was for me...just me NOT a bunch of other peoples children,
instead of nurturing the child within...
my own inner child.
I even played with my camera..me, my camera and my wireless remote :0)
So this time all I took were two pad, one black & one white
A white chinagraph pencil.
I black and white paint pen
and a fineline black marker!
Water paints in a tin and a few paint brushes.
The water paints and I didn't really 'gel' on this break
HOWEVER
The Chinagraph pen and I had fun :0)
It was nice having inspiration at my doorstep :0)
Can you spot the inspiration for the
second picture in amongst
this flotsam and jetsam??
I went away on a short break
and I actually did a little bit of art.
TRUE STORY!

Wow you are one talented lady! I am glad to hear that you truly 'got away'. I'm a planner and inevitably I always over plan my vacations. Going with the flow is sometimes harder then it sounds, but we leave in a month for a trip and I am going to try really hard to take your lead! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat great art!! I see the inspiration as the shell on the hat, am I right? Kudos to you for getting away and doing what you love.

That's some real talent, Jewelz! Kudos to you for putting yourself in a situation where other "stuff" couldn't get in the way... look what came out of it! That shell awesomely rocks; how exactly do you use a Chinagraph pen? I've never even heard of it before. Thanks for sharing your talent!
