Hi everyone.
It is hard for me to believe we are starting the last week of January. It seems I was just picking up my holiday decorations and wondering how I would occupy myself during the month with winter howling around me. Thanks to a spell of not so bad winter weather, I've made it this far, and I am shocked that we only have a week left to go until February.
We are in the deep freeze with winds this weekend however, which has meant lots of indoor time with the wood stove going. Looks the like the nights in this upcoming week are going to get pretty cold also, down near into the teen degrees F (or about -10 to 12 degrees C). And chillier days too. I think the mild winter weather has headed for a vacation south. I wish I was too. Smile.
My page for Art Journal Journey today was made with one of my favorite techniques.
An empty tape roll - good idea! Love your work - occasionally a bit of snow here, too little, thankfully to stay.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday to you.
good morning-I love your page very much-I love the tip to use a stamp as a base-cool I love warmth from a wood stove so much-miss that.
ReplyDeleteHappy new week Kathy
Beautiful colors thought I could do without the snow. Cold this week, but a warm up for next! Wear your mittens and stay warm! 😺
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful journal page, the tree is fabulous! Have a day day, , hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThis turned out great. It's beautiful and you painted it so well, too. I am in awe of how well you paint. This is a very inspiring piece you created for us at Art Journal Journey. Let's hope for warm days ahead. Here we're under a winter storm warning until 9 pm tomorrow night.
ReplyDeleteNice one, of course with snow. Interesting to double stamp an image to enlarge it.
ReplyDeleteErika, this is so pretty! Great tree with a great look - your painting over the tree technique is fabulous. Super background too with great details like that tape roll. Love the words - I am ready for the garden days! Hugz
ReplyDeleteDearest Erika! Your beautiful art just gave me the beautiful feeling of snow even if I haven't seen snow yet! it's like blooming snowflakes! Keep warm dear Erika! my best friend in Toronto says it's super harsh on his side.
ReplyDeleteI love this! The tree image really works -- love the white blossoms against the blue and the tree is fabulous. Fun background too. This one is a winner!
ReplyDeleteOur high today is predicted to be 70-something F, and I'm not feeling a winter vibe at all lol I'll enjoy your snowy scene :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork. (I hope you don't get snow today. We're only supposed to get a few inches here in Connecticut, but even that is too much.)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful mixed media page Erika! I love the tree!

ReplyDeleteI too have found that January has gone by so quickly!
All the best Jan
I love this spage. I love your tree. What a great technique or should I say a culmination of several techniques. I have never stamped a tree like that but I will, if you don't mind. It is very atmospheric.
