Imaginary Trip to the Garden with Laure

Beach Boardwalk - Imaginery trips Class
Another of the excercises with Laure. She is incredible - She didn't leave out the second plank out in HER boardwalk handrail! That among other things...She says to embrace the imperfections. Well, I have my arms full ;o) Thanks Laure!

Sea Star -2
Class with Laure. This assignment looked simple to me at first. It gave me a fit! This is my second attempt and it was better than the first.

Valentine Card class
It seems like the only time I do anything is when I'm taking a class. Thank goodness there are people out there willing to "try" to teach me! This one is from Laure Ferlita. Had fun doing it.

Autumn Equinox
The leaves here seem to be having a hard time changing colors this year. The weather is so dry, the leaves are just dying and falling off the trees instead of changing to those beautiful colors I am so used to seeing. It is supposed to rain tomorrow and then for several days. Maybe that will help.
Painting this one was great fun!

Pumpkin
It's finally starting to feel like fall here. Less humidity in the air. A certain crispness to it that I love. I'm enjoying my online class with Laure - it makes me look even more closely at the world around me. And what a beautiful world it is!

White Pumpkin
This is an excercise from Laure Ferlita's Fall Class. It looks so simple - it gave me a FIT! First, I did it on the wrong paper and then it just went down hill from there! LOL Learned a lot though.

Another class assignment from Laure Ferlita's class. I am having a great time trying to follow her assignments.
Indigo Bunting
Using tips from a great art teacher (Laure Ferlita) I tried to tweak some of the details of my Indigo Bunting. I like it better, but it still isn't what I had hoped for.

Indigo Bunting (Low Tec)
This was an assignment for my class with Laura. Having a great time and experimenting with lots of materials. Lots of things I would do differently on this one, but I learned sooooo much!

Tye Dye 2
I decided that I wanted the story written on the journal page but did not want it on top of my work. The butterfly was collaged on and the writing behind it.

Tye Dye
On a recent art day with my art buddies, we tie dyed shirts. Great fun - but the amazing thing was that as I held my wet dyed shirt in my hands, a butterfly came and sat on my shirt. He just sat there - and sat there. Of course before anyone could get their hands on a camera, he left. Great day. Great memory.

View
In one of Nelson DeMille's novels the main character had been shot multiple times and barely escaped with his life. When asked how he managed to survive, he stated, "with gunshot wounds it's like real estate...location, location, location." I feel the same way about the view from my kitchen.
Cape Lookout
I had the opportunity to spend a few days with some of my art teacher buddies in July at the beach. We had great fun catching up and spent one of our days at Cape Lookout. We took a water taxi over to the island and got to see a few of the wild horses of the Outer Banks of NC. The horses were a first for me. A great day and a great experience!

I would like to thank my friend Irene for sharing her journals and teaching methods with me. I love her work and her influence really shows up on this page. You can find her at naturejournaling.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-workbook-drawin.... Take a look!

Just when you think I have finally given up, I come up with another post. Go figure! I am taking a class with Laure Ferlita on Journaling and really enjoying her ideas, suggestions, demos and instruction. It is always great to be in a class and see familiar names (keeps me in a comfort zone on that level anyway). Inspiration from classmates and an urgency to make something NOW in order to keep up with assignments is just what I needed. Now let's see if I can get on to page two!
