An Ink Journal Page for AJJ

 I wanted to make another journal page for Erika's theme Red for Art Journal Journey-link in my side bar.

I am really enjoying working with my inks, both my own botanical inks and Winsor Newton's watercolor inks. The journal page is all inks.

My inspiration page on top -I changed the violet flowers to red



I really love the richness of inks



Happy Friday and weekend.

  10. Your inks are lovely an so is your painting. Look how much you have 'improved.' I have that in quotes because I have loved your art from the beginning. But I see that you are becoming more sure of yourself. It shows in your art.

    1. Good morning Mary, I think most of us are sooo looking forward to spring blooms-it has been a rough winter

  13. This may be my favorite journal page yet. I love the flowers you drew, I love the texture on the gate/fence, and I love the way you pulled it all together. Of course, having spring flowers while I am looking at a gloomy day makes it even more exciting. Thanks for this beautiful journal page and equally, thanks for sharing it with us at Art Journal Journey using Erika's theme.
