Repeated Imagery In My Art
Posted on May 30, 2010 by Gulfsprite in Art Journals
This is my art journal. One of two I currently have in progress. I have two for necessity so that I can work in one while the other dries.
I realized something today. Why I paint these trees, this little forest. I have painted them in various colors and moods. Always though they give me a sense of safety and security. I imagine walking through this quiet forest with a bit of mist from rain. It is lush and full of life and yet it is not noisy or rushed. It is a soft and peaceful life there in the forest of my mind.
Do you have repeated imagery in your art? Does it hold a particular meaning for you? Or is it something that you do subconsciously and have not put a lot of thought into it, opting instead to just let it be there quietly?

I tried painting a forest yesterday for my newest painting. Didn’t work out. But it sure made a nice layered look when I painted over it.
All I can seem to paint or have any interest in painting are people or characters in my head. I wonder what that says about me. hm..
Wow! I’ve been reading your blog for a while now, and I think I linked to you on an entry I did a few months back. I knew your name on fb, but have just now (5 seconds ago) put the connection between your name, fb, and your blog. Ah! It all is making sense to me now. ha!
Ah yes, it can be confusing but with my last name I decided I needed a nickname instead of trying to use my full name. And there are just too many Christy’s in mixed-media to just go with that.
