  • Choose Love

    How difficult can it be to give smiles instead of frowns? How difficult can it be to choose to enjoy life instead of being worried about things you can’t change? How difficult can it be to choose love? Happiness is choice. Besides, it’s Friday. That should make it a bit easier :). Happy Friday and…

  • Laughter Brings Hope

    Today I again pulled the “laughter” card from the oracle deck. I quite enjoy doing flowers lately and using my elegant writer pen. I am so happy to see the ink and watercolor mix and flow. I am feeling a bit restless last two days. Lot of work and lot of private stuff going on.…

  • Open your heart

    Bad night behind… it seems that all people around me were somehow affected with bad mood virus. Including myself… so I was worried and restless and of course didn’t sleep well. The weather is strange, rainy, cloudy, windy, warm… But the oracle said ‘open your heart’. And I did. I do. Everything is different when…

  • Mandala on top of collage

    This week’s lessons in Life Book 2016. We were supposed to trace a given drawing of mandala on top of collage. I decided to use one of my mandalas from before, so I  just drew it and colored with markers and acrylics. I’m not particularly thrilled with it, but it’s ok. Another lesson done. Back…

  • Adventure

    Lucy decided that she had quite enough of work and worry so she hopped into her car and off she went for an adventure. It was raining white stars and dots but she was happy because she had a great day.

  • Seek beauty

    It’s snowing. Wet heavy watery snow. The oracle said ‘seek beauty’… so that’s what I did. Beauty in watercolors blendig and flowing on the pages. I feel at peace with the world. All is good…

  • Laughter

    I had a migraine yesterday. Not so bad, but still enough to make me quite moody. I started this spread in my journal feeling really frustrated. The oracle I pulled yesterday said ‘give’ again and I thought wtf I have nothing more to give, so I poured my frustration onto the pages and all I…

  • Black and white doodles

    Today I give you this week’s lesson from Life Book. The challenge was to do it monochromatic. There were again painterly flowers presented by the teacher, but I decided that one frustration was quite enough so I  rather stick to what I know I can do. So doodles.

  • And it’s Raining Again

    I didn’t pull any oracle card yet because I wanted to finish this. I didn’t feel at alk playful this morning. It’s raining and dark and my mood is a bit poisonous. I am pressed with deadlines and haven’t got much time for art. I am behind with Life Book and currently doing a piece…

  • Play

    Sometimes I just try to hard. Sometimes I overcomplicate things. Sometimes I forget to let go and just play and enjoy what I have. Things don’t always have deeper meaning. Things are often just simply things. Play…
