INTO MY GARDEN

These days I'm enjoying recording vignettes from my garden in a new handmade journal I purchased from an awesome artist I met at the Great Western Design and Living Show in Great Falls, Jennifer Simard Solberg from Nebraska.  It's really true that having quality materials makes the difference when creating art.  This journal serves as my compilation of plein air studies that may turn into a painting, a garden banner or a watercolor batik later.  I'm loving this process this year.  Plus, it helps me focus not only on the art, but I'm able to keep everything in ONE journal...instead of random sketchbooks I may pick up. Thank you, Jennifer Simard Solberg!
