More turtle heads just keep popping out...and the pop
of pink is a welcome addition to the late summer garden.
I recently finished the little series in my art journal....it started with
this circle watercolor that I cut up and stacked on the pages. I first wrote about it here: https://joyfulputtering.blogspot.com/2023/07/start-somewhere.html
I worked this last page at the end of my COVID run where I had scribbled some of my symptoms in white paint. My fineline applicator was a little clogged....so it didn't flow that well...but that was OK and seemed quite fitting actually. When it was dry I went over it with a light wash of watercolor.
I had made this little circle piece using the white acrylic paint...then filled the circles in with watercolor and a little gold shimmer accent. I thought the colors and shapes worked well with the theme.
I didn't necessarily want it in the middle.....
...so it landed in the lower corner and I add the papercut to balance out the page. I think it all good enough for a personal art journal....and all the pieces and parts have meaning.
Here's the completed stacked circle series:
pages one and two
three and four
five and six
seven and eight.
A dozen or more pages left in this journal....and there's no hurry.
The writing from the clogged fine-line applicator couldn't be better! The hints of words please my eye and tease my mind to great delight. The gold shimmer adds a perfect pop.
