Art Journal is keeping me sane (well almost)


I took a Susan Spellman class on art journaling. From the get go, I loved it. Her advice was "draw like you were in kindergarten. Fabulous advise. When I am journaling my mind is open to all and any ideas that fly around my mind. I purchased water color pens, notebook and  to France to cruise on a canal boat. Very relaxing. I was still very much grieving my sister Judy's passing. 
So, I stayed on the boat as she slowly glided down the canal. Slowly, a person could walk faster than this boat. I sat on the open front deck between the hot tub and the front door. There were tables and chairs there. I loved thee spot, the quiet, the waves, the skies, the frogs, the birds,,,I loved it. My mind was open to art colors, shapes, and my journal. What joy. What a gift Susan gave me. She gave me a door that opened my mind to joy, and took away  hours of sadness. 
She gave me peace.
