Paint Party Friday and Art Journal Journey

Hello Friday Friends!!!

It's been a high activity week here and now it's going to be a pay for it weekend :) 

But I don't mind because I accomplished what planned for the week and a few (feels like all) sore muscle is worth the price. (well maybe ) 

First the art.... 

I have a new WIP canvas going. 

 It started with a bunch of paper towels I brought home from work. back when I worked in the paint dept. We would wipe our fingers off after dabbing the colors on the paint cans when customers order paint. 

I tore them up and glued them down on a 

11" X 14" canvas.  

Then I added some random color.... and then some texture...

.... waiting to see where she goes from here :) 

I also worked in an art journal this week too. 

Favorite poems and quotes is the theme this month at Art Journal Journey. I used to write poems when I was younger and had more functioning brain cells. I decided to see if I used some of those old cells I might be able to write again at least once in a while. 

So here is my  April Rains poem and journal page....

.... not the greatest poem ever written but not bad for jump starting long dead brain cells. 

I found an old card I had done back in 2012 that I hated at the time but didn't throw it out for some strange reason...

...at some point in time I had doodled on the background to try and save it....it didn't work . So now I'm going to try and repaint the face and see what happens...

...those green eyes just don't want to go away so it will be interesting to see what happens as I add more layers of paint. The card just may end up weighing to much to every mail :) 

The reason for all of the sore muscle was the pounding in of 6 fence post for the veggie garden and the spreading of black mulch for the front flower beds...

...no pictures of those fence post but I think they are the responsible devils for the muscle pains :) 

Random Thoughts for Today...
