Art: Old Soul
· painting acrylic 
Before Christmas, I showed you a little peek of a very old acrylic painting that I started when I was young. I recently found another unfinished work that I began in the 1980’s. I will probably either finish or redo this one also. I don’t know if I will keep the original theme on this one, but the small part I’m showing you in this image, I still like. We’ll see what this becomes!
Art: Old - Really Old
· Painting betica acrylic mixed media 
Many… MANY… (like, probably, 45) years ago, I had this idea for a painting. I grabbed the nearest paper (a brown paper lunch sack) and a ballpoint pen to sketch it out before I forgot about it. After about 15 minutes, I had all the shapes drawn. I also had color notes on the back of the bag. I have the bag around here somewhere. If I find it, I’ll post a pic of it.
Art Journal: Stamp Painting
· Art Journal art stamping painting 
We often use stamps to add to our art journal page, but have you ever tried to create an entire painting using only stamps to apply ink to the paper? This is one of my favorite techniques for creating a scene: using multiple stamps and stamping ink to build the image, layer by layer. It’s a bit tricky, and requires a bit of thinking and some planning. If you were to try this, what scene would you create?
