T stands for Art

Today, I'm happy that I managed to get early for Elizabeth's T stands for Tuesday.

 Along with my big cup of green tea I want to share this sea horse painting that I did for the sketchbook challenge. This month their challenge is to do water life. It was not that easy for me to do this sketch. Somehow after a couple of hours I managed to finish Mr. Seahorse.

I've tried the technique of cross hatching on its body. It is a line drawing technique that is used for achieving more value and texture in one's art.

Two weeks ago I shared a doodle here. I used watercolor on it . I like it better in real than on this photo. I do need more practice in painting my doodles.

Yet another page from my online class, The Walk. The class is open only till the end of August and hence I'm busy trying to finish each lesson.

This lesson was all about how we are never alone in times of our difficulties.
There is always someone to help but we need to find our Helper or Guide who can help us in coming up with the answers for our problems.

I also wanted to share with you a poem that my 1st Grader wrote for Poetry Reading in his school. He loves Nature and reads and watches all that he can on that subject.

This is a poem that he wrote on Sharks. We are so proud of this little boy who loves to draw, read and imagine so much on nature and cars, the two subjects that he love the most.
I'm enjoying this last month of his school, where  we get to go and watch their art, listen to their poems and plays. So Thankful for our children who make our world more special to us.
Thank you for being here and going  through all that I've shared here.

T stands for Creative Tuesday

Good morning Elizabeth and everyone at T stands for Tuesday. Now snow has given way to rain here. I'm so happy to see the little buds and flowers coming out and even at 5:00 in the morning I can here the chirping of the birds here.  

Today morning with my daily cup of tea I was busy with my journal. Isn't Spring a great inspiration? I'm so happy with the colors on my page. You can click on the picture to see better. On the right I've used deli paper to embellish my page. Love, love to work on them. 

A mixed- media page that I did. It is rich in texture and colors. One thing that is missing is a quote. I love to add meaningful quotes to my art.Still I wanted to share this with you maybe later I'll be adding a word or two to this page.

Yet another doodle and I can even use this pattern paper as a gift wrap or as a background for another painting. I will be doing more of this kind in the future.
Life is so busy here. We are going on a trip and I'm busy packing and getting things ready for it. But I'm still planning to keep my blog updated. I will also try my best to visit you all and see what all you have shared from your side.
Thank you for always supporting me with your kind words.

Welcome Spring

Hello Everyone, Hope you all are having a lovely Saturday.
Yesterday, I received a lovely package from Linda of http://heartfullyinspired.blogspot.com/ She had hosted a giveaway last week and I was lucky to win one of her gifts.
Linda, Thank you so much for the book and the other artsy things you sent me. I will be going through the book and will share any projects that I might try.

Spring is in full swing here and I was inspired to create a Spring doodle-:)

I still need to color this page. Hopefully, in the coming week it will be finished.

I am part of a Circle Journal Project and we are almost coming to the end of it. This is a page that I did for one of  the members. I used Twinkling H20's for the background. The elephants' backs are covered with a cloth and here I used real embroidery fabric and stitched it on the back. I also used seed beads on the tree.

It was a lot of work but I really enjoyed creating this page for this special person.

A close up of the elephants.

I'm linking my page to the awesome Paint Party Friday and Julie's Art Journal Everyday

Thank you for checking.
