Its coming up purple around here

During my convalescence I have been watching lots of art videos on YouTube.  I can take only so much inspiration before I really have to make art.  Last week I did quite a few backgrounds in my paper bag journal. Since I couldn't go another day without doing any art I decided to work on some of those backgrounds in my journal.   I picked these two purple backgrounds to work on.











This is what I started with, 2 pages of purples and blues. The page on the left was not really that dark.

















I decided instead of covering this lovely background up with collage I would look for the art hidden in the background instead. I found these three ladies just wanting to be seen.  I wrote "although they were sisters sometimes it felt like they were miles apart."














This one had an angel in it. I keep seeing angels lately. This is the second one I have found this month. I do not know what that means but if I see em I will paint them. I  really enjoyed working on these two pulled art pieces.

  3. Loving the purple srprises you found. The three sisters is something I can relate to - I am one of three. My quote would read "Although they are miles apart, they will always be sisters." ;)
    Brava to you for using the art time to boost the healing! May that continue all weekend so that you feel like yourself again come Monday.
    Big Love !
