The fourth week of Art Jar Self - Edition
had prompts & inspiration from Eliza
to help us unplug for a few days
& get away from our digital world.
The printed words are by Hot Off The Press.
The fallen leaves gathered from my garden.
The library card & postcard images
are from Cloth Paper Scissors.
I used DecoArt Americana acrylic paint
(Blue Neon & Pink Neon)
mixed with Daler-Rowney Gesso Primer
(White)
with splashes of Distress Ink
(dusty concord)
for the background.
Then Faber-Castell Watercolour pencils
around the edges.
There is Tim Holtz Design Tape,
a Tim Holtz Paper Doll,
& printed text.
There is nothing quite
like an Autumn walk,
kicking the fallen leaves,
breathing in the fresh air,
listening to the birds,
watching the squirrels
& catching a glimpse
of a shy fox.
It is a chance
to breathe deeply,
to appreciate the slow
but steady pace of nature,
as the colours
of the trees change,
& red berries start to
appear on the shrubs.
I feel calmer.
I feel grateful.
I feel at peace.
