I do journal. Sometimes I wonder why. This answers my why…for now.

I have many started/stopped journals and always say I am going to get back to journaling, hopefully this beauty will serve as a prompt.

Awwwwww, I needed that bit of inspiration today. Thanks! I’m dusting off my journal. It’s still January, a good time to start…again.

What a wonderful illustration! I’ve only recently started journaling regularly with some collage and drawings to make it more fun for me. It’s finding a rhythm to keep at it that is my challenge. I’ll keep coming back here for some inspiration.

What another great and inspiring post. My journaling is so scattered but that’s because I have way too many thoughts and ideas so I just keep jotting them down in between the introspective things.
What a great illustration this is … but I said that didn’t I ;~)
Cheers,
Diane

This blog is gorgeous. I’m sure you’ve been told that before but I too will add my two cents worth. You are a fantastic illustrator and even though, I have no green thumb of my own to boast about, not even a thumb of any other color – I unfortunately do no gardening, I cannot tell you how inspiring I have found your illustrating work and your obvious passion for gardening. I feel like getting myself a little packet of seeds and some gardening tools. Will tell you how that has gone when next I visit — in other words soon.

I do journal but I have no artistic talent. Instead, I cut out beautiful illustrations from magazines and paste them in my journal with my thoughts. It works for me!

I just found your blog and it is fantastic. Your illustrations are outstanding. I wish I could learn to draw and paint just from your step by step instructions but you have a gift and it’s not so easy for the rest of us. I will just come back and admire your work!
