It's been a busy week and quiet on my blog, I've been buried in designing and final testing of my NEW website {www.treicdesignsdigitals}, which officially launches on Monday!! For artJOURNALING fridays, this week I'm sharing a peek through my lens during our trail walks with Indie.
The weather turned a little chilly and the rain came in for a couple days but it left beauty behind. The sun tried to peek through yesterday and here's a snippet of the bare oak trees against the cloudy sky. I am in awe of the magnificent sky and the images that I capture when pointing the camera lens up..so much beauty to soak in!
My art journal is a collection...a collection of inspirations which sometimes include photos. I love taking photos of trees and the sky. These images grace the page so I can remember a magical place and time.
a few creative ideas...
- take a walk and capture pictures of the trees and sky
- look at the patterns in the branches, they tell stories, what do they say to you? write a few words
- draw the patterns of trees in your journal
- create a tree stencil and use it to paint a background
- paint with fallen branches or leaves
- print photos and collage them into your art journal
- write a poem about the trees and sky
- add a quote about trees
Take a break and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you. Enjoy soaking in the inspiration...breathe and smile.
happy art journaling...xoxo~treiC

Great pictures - I love the perspective.
I'm fascinated by trees - from mighty branch to tiny twigs. I love them especially during winter, when their branches are not hidden by leaves (I do love the leaves as well, but there is something magical about a tree in winter...)
here a little peek into a page with sketches
