Bright Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

     Hi everyone. Happy Thursday. We've finally got some rain in the forecast. We've been in a drought this fall, and we need the moisture. Plus, and this probably sounds weird, but we've had so much sun and wind that a dark day will actually be nice. If only I could stay home and be lazy it would be perfect. 😏

     I realized that there's only a little over a week left to the month, and I counted up the pages I made for Wendy's On, In or By the Sea challenge at Art Journal Journey. I figured I better post another one today so I don't have too many extras. (Thanks Wendy for this theme. It's right up my alley.) And what's better on a cloudy wet day than some bright sunshine. 



     I'm really happy with the water I painted on this page. It's hard to capture the lazy motion on a day when the water  not churned up by the wind but not glassy smooth either. And I think I did that. The lighthouse, rocks around it and sailboat are all Art by Marlene images. I stamped the silly seagull on the boat and colored it in. I also stamped the quote, but sadly the w in the wishing word got a little bit messy.

     I used a blue glaze on the sky and then added this die cut sun. It's actually a background that's card size, but I liked how it looked, especially when I used a yellow Stabilo pencils and a wet paintbrush to fill in around it.

   And there you have it. I'm keeping this short today as I have some things I need to go and do. Have a great day everyone.
