Daily... Plus

Here are my recent Daily entries.

I love this color combo.

But then anything with the blue-y turquoises is alright by me!

The whole page started with those leaves on the edge. 

 

 

I did a lot of writing here...

So moving on....

I was looking through one of my new Dover books

on Henna tatoos.

Lots of ideas there! 

And this Red and Brown combo totally caught my interest for a few days!

 

Since I got the Valentine's Day red out of my system....

I was wanting to do something in yellows.

I am on the ArtJournaling.ning site.

I have not discovered everything they have to offer...

but I joined a group called the Modern Masters Challenge!

Each month they focus on a different artist

 and the members make pages and artwork 

 inspired by that particular master.

A challenging concept.

There is some great work being shared!

January's Master Artist was Gustav Klimt.

And since I didn't join the group til Feb.

I still played with Klimt in a few ways.

This is a glimpse of a part of his 1902

Beethoven Frieze. 

 

I love the way Klimt used patterns.

Wild, Crazy patterns.

This lady is inspired by a 1907 painting,

Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I

Incorporating a style of a Master Artist

into my Daily was very challenging.

Really hard.

But this has become one of my all time favorite spreads!

I'll do more of this in the future I think.

 

 

I also love Klimt's style of trees.

I made a couple of small canvases recently.... 

This one is hanging up in my studio.

I love it! 

 

I am giving this one as a gift.

 

 

 

February's Master Artist is Henri Matisse.  

This is in the style of his portrait of Lydia.

I have more to discover of this artist.

 

 

There are so many possibilities out there!
