It's Sunday

   Hi everyone. Happy second half of the weekend to you. I hope your weekend has been warmer than mine started out. At 8 yesterday morning (when I was writing this post) with the wind chills it felt like -19 degrees F/ -28 degrees C. 😰 If you are also in this polar vortex I hope you're staying warm.  Later today we're predicted to get a lot of snow. If you happen to be in the path of this storm, I hope you also stay safe and warm. Wherever you are, I hope you are having a super weekend and not having this wintery weather so much of the US and Canada are getting or about to get.

   Today I'm joining my "What's Up?" challenge at Art Journal Journey. I'm also joining Gillena's Sunday Smiles and Nicole's Sunday in the Art Room.


   I'm not sure what I think about this page, but I took a risk and gave it a try. My original thought was about looking up at some great art pieces in a museum, like looking up the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. I expanded it to go beyond looking at art in one place and looking at art in any museum. I wanted  to include this woman; she is definitely interested in something up above her. I cut her out of  an old book. Some of the art on the walls is also cut from an old book page, and some of that art is stamped with old rubber stamps. 

   I drew in the floor and walls. I painted the posts and then glued in some yellow waxed thread. Originally I had a cleaned off a stencil on the page and the white paint from that actually shows up pretty well so you see the windows and wall details, which I thought definitely added to the museum feel. The page was colored with yellow and brown inks and some watered down yellow acrylic paint. You can also see I stamped some city names where you'd find a lot of major art (and that I had stamps for). I stamped in some travel definitions. I also added the quote stamped with white ink on black paper.  All that together finishes off this page. 

  I don't know if you'll like this page or not, but it is definitely a twist of the words  Sunday in the Art Room.😉

   Not to bore you with extra photos, but it was actually above freezing last Thursday. Before I went out and raked off the edge of the roof, I noticed water dripping off some icicles in my living room window. (I know, I need a life...ha ha.) Anyhow, I wanted to see if I could catch a water drop falling in a photo, and I did. 



  OK, enough for me. Have a super rest of your weekend and start to the new week.
