Art Journal Page: Do You Know

One of my favorite things to do when not painting is to work in my art journal. And one of the things I like to do is to reuse sketches and small studies and add them in. This way I don’t have stacks of sketch books lying around, but instead have my personal journals filled with my art and thoughts.

Because my studies are done in a 12″ x 12″ format and my art journals are a more standard book size (about 9″ x 10″ or 7″ x 9″) I generally find I have to cut the images down. This works for me as I like to place faces on the edges of the page.

This is my journal page from yesterday. Enjoy!

The quote reads “Do you know how much she loves you?” I was thinking of my daughter at the time and how she has been suffering a bit from a broken heart.
