the moments {a series} no 25: scrap paper, art journaling

i like using scraps of overpainted paper -ripping the papers up to use for something else which generally leaves small overpainted paper scraps in my paper pile.

sometimes while i am digging through this pile, i find a scrap that i absolutely love....it is usually the color combo on that scrap.

it is the hot pink peaking through; the splash of purple dropped onto this paper maybe be mistake that my love of this paper begins....

this moment in my life is brought to you today by my weird love of color and randomness.....

and saving these papers in my art journal for me to love for a long time.....because when i see it, it makes me happy.....

interrupt the moments for one little word

i am taking a small break from the moments to bring you.....one little word. our word this month was color. stop by and check out what everyone else made.

could they have picked a better word?.....i think not! if you have been a long follower or have recently just joined- you will not see much soft pastel colors here. nope- i paint and work in big, bright, happy, colors....and usually as many as i can.

here is a sneak peak of my painting for "color." i painted mine on yupo paper- beginning with paper that already had paint down, but, was clearly not finished.

do you have a favorite color? let me know which one! want to play along?....there is a "add your link" at the bottom of the post on the one little word link above- so come and join us! if you do- be sure to let me know!
