Doodle Frenzy.

Sometimes I don't want to paint and in-between paintings I like to doodle, sketch or do something creative. In my new art journal I have been using felt tip pens and here are a few drawings I have been working on.

Landscape.

Dolphins.


C.S. Lewis was a remarkable children's author. The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe is my favourite. It there was one door that I would open it would be the door of the wardrobe into Narnia. This sketch was inspired from the Walt Disney Movie cover. 


It is nearly Christmas, afterall.

wreck this journal by keri smith

Have I ever been on a mission with this recently purchased book! I have been wanting to get my hands on this for a while and my local bookstore just stocked up with the latest updated version which has several new covers. I have a number of Keri Smiths journals which I have listed below. She has a great talent of getting your creative juices flowing by making you look at things and bending the rules, it has childlike qualities since the ideas are so simple and some of the things in her books are activities we used to do as kids. A lot of her activities involve drawing but it is nicely mixed in with writing creatively.

I highly recommend this for school kids, creatives, stay-at-home parents, executives who need to improve their ideas generation, anyone really.

Wreck this Journal is a good place to start. Mess is also fun, How to be an Explorer is great at making you see all the things around you and my other favourite is Living Out Loud, geared towards women in need of empowerment, creative space, relaxation and reading guides.


You can see on my Instagram page the work I have been doing in my journal(s).

Moooooooooooooooo!

This was loads of fun. Like the Klimt inspired piece below, I have used magazine clippings, painted over it with white acrylics then painted my cartoon cow. Loads of fun - love it.
