Summer of Color: Week 3
 |
| Delight in imperfection |
The color pallet this week is Lavender & Grey with a
Smudge, Splash or Pop of Plum. To get
inspired I scrolled through my Inspiring
Art Journal Pages board on Pinterest.
I knew I wanted something with texture, which used supplies I already
had. This is when I found this,
layering with happy colors by One
Lucky Day. While I was limited to the 3 colors,
I found I could follow her process and adapt it to this challenge. The fun part was painting with my fingers,
getting paint under my nails, ruining my nail polish. I followed her advice and didn't think too
much about where to put the paint. I found myself for the first time following my
intuition, adding, wiping away, smudging… very therapeutic!
Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt:
I had a rather successful week for this challenge. Last Saturday the new Farmer’s Market opened
downtown and the annual outdoor art show was taking place; the perfect opportunity
for some photo scavenging.
First stop, taking a photo of the street heading into
downtown.

While at the art show I got lucky. The hubby spotted this young woman practicing
her juggling skills away from the crowd in the shade of some trees.

| #15: A Juggler |
Found this display of wonderfully modern, colorful bird
houses.

I captured this sunrise while taking the dog out for her
morning constitutional.

I know every week is not going to be as successful as this
but crossing the juggler of the list was a huge relief!

These are such great finds - I love the woman juggling with the diablo. The kids learned to do that in Prague.Also, what a lovely sunrise.
