Before I get to today's topic, the winner of the Valentine's Day blog hop is Monica Garcia!
Thank you to all who participated in our hop. We loved sharing our art with you!
And now, to my tutorial. As you probably are aware, I love painting angels. These days, more than ever, I feel compelled to call upon them and manifest them in my life. It's been a rough few weeks; we need angels more than ever.
Here's a look at how I created a juicy, inviting background for some angels. The techniques are applicable to any art journal page or mixed media project.
You can also watch "Creating a Background for Angels" on YouTube here.
My daughters and I attended the Women's March on Washington in late January.
Were you there or did you participate in any of the marches in your state or around the world? It was amazing to see the outpouring of people, and the love and support for compassion, tolerance and empathy.
Here's my older daughter's account of our experience, I Was There, which was wonderful, inspiring and heartbreaking all at the same time.
Sometimes I am exhausted trying to resist the daily executive orders and pronouncements coming from Washington. But then, I remember that I have my sisters with me. That, and taking refuge in my artwork, sustains me.
Thanks for visiting.
