AEDM Nov 2: Colouring Art Noveau

Another day of Art Every Day Month http://creativeeveryday.com/art-every-day-month

I did a bit of coloring last night. Was a little wiped so I didn't feel like working in my art journal. Plan on doing it today. Here is what I colored last night. I really like Surrealism. Mucha, Art Noveau, etc.

I have been dying to color this one. The flower petals didn't turn out as I like, but some of the best masterpieces come out of mistakes. I am avid about coloring at least once a week. Maybe more. AEDM will be a good challenge for that.

I started this last night and finished it today. I am going to do my best to keep up with the daily linking. Do you like Art Noveau? Do you have any links to colouring pages that you wouldn't mind sharing? I do a few mandalas here or there, but I must more enjoy pictures.

I  love the hair on the lady here. Odd, now that I am a redhead again I seem to be drawn to coluring that way. I always color alternating on the hair. It is like, my thing I guess. Also I did use Copics but I tried to give the dress a ruffled velvet or velour look to it. I think I did ok with that.

Mostly I wanted to share how drawn (no pun intended) to this image I am. I have really been feeling depressed and alone lately. We just moved to a new city, just got married two months ago, and this will be our first holiday with no family or friends.

I think this image just really resonates with me. Shielding my Heart chakra and protecting my soul house. Subdued and a bit withdrawn. Just being solemnly me.

Thanks for stopping by. Leave a note if you can. :)

AEDM Art Everyday Month - November Challenge

Wow! It has been so long. I am married now, have three cats, live in Colorado, am on a fabulous adventure with my new business Juste Etre and doing what I love, completely and whole heartedly again! Isn't it odd that going back to the tools and things we know are almost like olfactory senses?

I was reading my Artizen Coaching Newsletter and she had a link to Leah's Art Every Day Month for November. Seeing the page and the blog links made me feel home again. I felt like I had rediscovred myself, almost.

I keep telling my HunEPants (that's my new hubby of two months) that I want to get back to how I felt before. How connected I felt. How secure and stable I felt. How alive I felt. Mostly how at Peace I felt. That to me is the epitome of Juste Etre.

So I am challenging myself to be back on track. Odd enough a week ago I bought myself a new art journal to to an Art journal piece daily. My sub conscious mind must have know this was coming.

I was thinking about doing NaNoWriMo again this year, but I am not sure writing is where I desire to put my energy. Maybe there is a way I can incorporate the two. hmmm....

I do like how she thinks broadly.

You could be cooking, taking pictures, dancing, writing music, crafting for the holidays, painting, sculpting, writing poetry, making jewelry, sewing, knitting, art journaling, you name it. You could decide to do a small 2"x2" drawing each day or you could do something different every day. Up to you! 

So I am here to share my start into AEDM


I accept this challenge!
