Botanical Art Print: Doll’s Eyes Plant Framing:Blackened Maple Frame throw it over your shoulder

throw it over your shoulder

new journeys unfold

Long Shadows and dark frames cast themselves upon artifacts of lives long resting over yonder

I started a new journal that I call Smudge

giving our new journal its name

Botanical Art Print: Doll’s Eyes Plant Framing:Blackened Maple Frame throw it over your shoulderOn a family vacation a few years ago, family familied, and I drew. The house and lake were surrounded by plants so they were my subjects for the week. I blackened my papers, sat outside, and made these little drawings. I often had kids popping in and out, trying their hand at using white gouache and gel pens on the inky pages (most often involving skulls and creatures!). I love exploring different ways to draw, and the unexpected results that emerge.
