Sunset-Inspired Art Journal.




Usually when I go to the grocery store, I wander around with no list, no plan, no course of action. People probably think I'm nuts. Half the time I'm texting, checking various social media networks, the weather... I get so bored at the store. Tonight, after 30 minutes of aimless wandering, I exited to find one of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen. Pictures do no justice. Sometimes (like tonight) I look around to see if other people are noticing, photographing, appreciating... and usually the answer is no no and no. It makes me sad but grateful at the same time that I can appreciate the beauty that most people don't see. Hopefully that does not sound cocky, as it's not meant to be! Anyway, I could not get the colors of that sunset out of my head and they made their way (unintentionally) into tonight's art journal pages. Is it really Monday already? Ugh.

  1. Nature has the perfect color schemes. Now you can keep those colors with you, unless you sell or give away that journal. :)

    1. I totally agree with you! Now I'm kind of throwing around the idea of making a journal that has a photograph from nature on one side and an inspired mixed media mess on the other.... :)
