ART on Friday

We are already mid June - how time does fly.
Here are a few of the pieces I have created this week.

Colour Me Positive
I am back to creating a journal spread for this weekly challenge at LuLu Art. My plan is to complete all the themes I've missed over the summer.
Week 23:

365 Project
This past week I created collages once again.

ICAD
This daily art project can be found at Daisy Yellow - a fun way to create quick collages in a most non-threatening way. Here are a few favs. from this week:

Sunday Postcard Art
The theme this week at Sunday Postcard Art was "Silhouettes"

Tags
I created this tag for:
Tag Tuesday (theme: Texture)  and Go Tag Thursday (theme: Anything Goes)

I used several motifs that I use a lot in my art - hearts, stars and birds. What motifs do you use often?

Photography
I had to share some of the flowers in our gardens.

ICAD
This daily challenge from Daisy Yellow has been enjoyable. Simple collages yes, but using the prompts adds a bit of challenge. here are 3 from this week:

Art Journal Journey
The theme this month at Art Journal Journey is circles.
I started a new journal and when I found this quote, I knew it wasperfect for the challenge.

This week the challenge at LuLu Art was being grateful. I try most days to lest a few things I am grateful for - it really does lift your mood.

ART on Friday - on Saturday

This week has sped by and was quite busy. Every day my husband and I attended a workshop on heart health - to help him with his cardiac rehab. I have learned so much this week - from medications, to stress management and foods. But the information is helpful and hopefully will ensure my husband improves.
I did some art this week but not as much as I would have liked. Here is a look at wy work this week:

Colour Me Positive
This week the theme from LuLu Art was on how we treat pople. How appropriate, after the terrible treatment of Muslims by Trump and Co. What was heartening was seeing the demonstrations against the "Muslim Ban" all across the U.S. and around the world. Even our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, offered refuge for those effected by the ban.
Here is my journal spread:

The Collage Workbook
I only worked on one project this week - #28 Flora. I'm definitely enjoying the projects from this book, and assessing my work after they are done.

This past week has sped by. Hard to believe we are more than half way through January.

Here are a few things I worked on this week.

Colour Me Positive

This week at LuLu Art, the theme is new beginnings. It seems that with the new president in the US, the quote should be reversed - painful beginnings, sad endings; too many closed doors.

The Collage Workbook

I created a few more collages based on the projects from The Collage Workbook.

Black and white

Typography - letters and words

Sketch a Day
Here are the latest flower sketches for my 365 sketch project:
