I started this journal page having in mind a totally different idea, but you know how it goes: you open your journal and say you’re going to draw a bird, but you end up with a dog. Well, not really the case, but what I wanted to “paint” and share to the world was different …
The things you take for granted someone else is praying for
Most often than not, our busy lives prevent us from looking around at the little things that bring us joy. Being in a continuous state of disatisfaction and disappointment is what keeps us blindfolded from not seeing what’s right in front of our eyes: life ain’t that bad.

The Quoted pages – Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature

The Quoted Pages Art Project
Just like The 29 Faces Challenge and The Flower Art Project, I want to start a new 30-days art project called “The Quoted Pages”. And as the name suggests, those art journal pages are going to include an inspirational quote each day of the month. The quotes I chose to use are personal development, self …
