Friday Art

 Hi everyone. Happy Friday. And happy second of February too. I’m home after a fun little get away with my friend Deb. We laughed a lot and even decided we could be pretty bad-ass too. I'll share some photos next week once I get through my photos. 

Today I have a lot of art to share in my post. First I have some second looks for Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's  Second on the Second. I also have  a couple of faces Nicole's Friday Face Off,  and all of this works for GIllena's Friday Lunch Break .  Plus I have a new page to link up to Vicki's Keeping It Light challenge at Art Journal Journey.

These first 2 pieces are second looks from January and February of 2018.  Our new theme at Art Journal Journey is Keeping It Light, and both of these pages have a form of light in them. They also have faces for Friday Face Off.



My next 4 looks are also second look pages from my daily journal back in January and February of 2018. I'm including these because 1) they are on the light side, and 2) they give me some inspiration. I've been trying to shake up my most recent daily drawing journal because I am getting bored with  more of the usual. I like these. My drawings may not be what they are now (since practice  usually really does make it better ), but I like how these pages are set up. 





And finally, here's a new journal page for Vicki's Keeping It Light challenge at Art Journal Journey.  The sun has a face on it for  Friday Face Off also.



That's all for me today.  Have a super start to your weekend.

    The bird against the sun is very appealing. At least I think it’s the sun. I can barely remember it! All the best - David

    Love the 'old'pages you have shown, it always does good to look back, compare and be inspired! Love the new page with the lovely yellow sun on it! Happy Friday, hugs, Valerie

    These are fabulous pages! So much inspiration and I have to say that the books with the owls are really speaking to me! I'm always reading by my bedside lamp before falling asleep! Thank you for sharing more inspiration with keeping light in mind! I love it!

    So nice to see the sun as we haven't seen it most of the week. I especially like the sun sticker and the quote on the last page. Hopefully, we'll see the sun this weekend.

    It's always good to revisit and re-engage. Getting back into my first art journals in order to try to finish them has been motivating to me, even though I didn't think it would be. Glad to hear you had fun with your girlfriend. I go riding around with my friend across the street when we want to get out and such a simple act is quite fun with the right person. XOX

    Thoughts out of your face shine like sunbeams? All thoughts or only the pleasant ones?

    I especially remember the owl on the table with the stack of books. It was a favorite then and still is today. Thanks for these wonderful looks back at your art for your second look, dear Erika.

    That is a charming sun and a great entry for both FFO and Vicki's theme at AJJ.

    I enjoyed the images, Erika! The first one has a beautiful message, and I love the little bird silhouetted agains the winter sun. Oh did I ever love snow days, probably more than my students. You, that's how my brain feels after watching too much tv. Your light page is inspirational. Happy creating!

    Enjoyed the look-back pages from your earlier journals, Erika, and now you no longer have to wish for a snow day to stay home and do whatever, thanks to retirement. Looking forward to reading about your recent adventure in future posts.

    Lovely sunny page for your AJJ entry, the ric rac braid looks really well on the side and such inspirational words. There's lots of inspiration in the other older ones too. I particularly like the owls at night and the little lamp lighting the reading corner.
    Sorry I can't join in at the moment but I have to keep my foot up as much as possible.
    Hugs, Neet xx
