Full Bloom Christmas

Wednesday, 6 November 2019
Today's offering is an experiment with colours and mediums...it's a bit of a mishmash of vivid colour, using acrylics, Neocolor crayons, gel pen, a stencil or two and Posca pens... I just kept adding bits with no aim in mind. As you can tell, the badly drawn (smaller) leaves are mine...he, he - the larger ones are stencilled. No stamping on this for a change...just lots of doodling.
As I was playing, I was thinking about leaves and the cycle of life. Beautiful, new, green leaves gradually change and become individual works of art, each with their own individual colours...but always beautiful. Seasons are necessary, even if we don't always welcome them with open arms. We can learn a lot from nature. So today I'm thankful for seasons and especially for the different seasons in my life. Each one has its own treasures - its own fruit - and with each one comes new grace for the moment.
The berries are there for Rike's AJJ challenge, which is fruit and/or veggies and I'm linking to Leah's Art Every Day Month.
Why not join us? There's no need to create every single day...
Thank you for calling in today
Back soon

This is a beautiful piece and I love the idea behind it. And the colors. They seem to be disappearing in nature, between the dark and cold, colors just vanishes. It is so great to see it in your art CAth. Happy Wednesday, Hugs-Erika
Beautiful. Janny

Once again, love all the layers and the color combinations!
I really liked reading the post Cath and how you you were thinking when you created the beautiful autumn page.

This is lovely. Great, vibrant colors.
I'm also thankful for seasons. It's boring when you have one single season all year long. That would make me happy, too. Of course, I simply adore the beautiful journal entry you created, too. It's great for Rike's theme at Art Journal Journey. And it is mesmerizing overall. I had hoped to get here sooner, but real life got in the way today!
What a riot of colour - I can see you enjoyed creating this page in your journal with all the different mediums you used. I love the background you have created - those touches of white make it pop as does the red of the berries. Not sure which leaves you refer to as your own hand drawn ones, they all look professional to me.
