Soon I will stop blogging about Journalfest. It has had a lifetime impact on me so I will never stop thinking about it and being someone that comes from having been there. Upon arrival everyone checked in and received a goodie bag along with our room keys and an orientation booklet. In the goodie bag, [...]

Journalfest 2011 Art Classes start with Carla Sonheim!
Last week I started writing about Journalfest and realized it was way to much writing for one post – so here is installment #2 and you can scroll down to previous posts if you want to start at the beginning. Day 2 – the classes begin. Class number one was with Carla Sonheim, a hero [...]
Journalfest 2011 – My Miraculous Vacation – Keep an Art Journal
It’s a miracle – I got to go to Journalfest 2011! Sometimes miracles feel like a lot of work, but in the end a miracle is a miracle and who is gonna say no to that? Getting to Journalfest was a major part of the experience! I left Denver in a heavy snowstorm, getting de-iced [...]
Getting Ready for My Next Adventure – Journalfest – making trades
Art Camp for Women is over for 2011 and we are well into setting up 2012 – but I’m going on vacation. I’m going to do what I recommend all my coaching clients do and actually I recommend everyone do. I am going where I am not the organizer, the boss, the wife, the mom, [...]
Art on Vacation
Remember I was talking about browsing junk/secondhand/antique stores when I am away from home? Did I mention I am often on the look out for something that could be repurposed into storage or shelving?

One last post about A Flower A Day in June. The idea was to draw a flower a day to increase my drawing skills and to sharpen my observations. I managed to draw 9 flowers in June – so not one a day by a long shot. The practice of the exercise did sharpen my [...]
Sketchbook Challenge – Pathways
A collage for this month’s Sketchbook Challenge. The text reads: “I am a writer and an artist. I am surrounded by love and friendship, sun and sand. I am moving forward on the path I choose with freedom and ease.” The various females in the collage are to represent me along with the other symbols. [...]
Sketchbook Challenge – Late May
I thought I had already posted this – sheesh. At the end of my last Sketchbook Challenge post I alluded to something else I could not resist. Then I left you all hanging. I wanted to do the picture with white Neocolor II resist crayons – but heck – life sucked me in and I [...]
Sketchbook Challenge – May – I Can’t Resist
I can’t resist a yellow wildflower We recently went on our first “rough” camping trip of the year. Rough means miles from anywhere on dirt roads with no water, toilets or picnic tables. We found it was a little early and retreated more than once to modern civilization. Read more about the Prairie Adventure. For [...]
