Vibrance: The Painting of a Dream Journal
Color • Full Art and Journaling Dreams
Love can be painted.
Sometimes just 'letting go' and allowing your feelings to flow into
your work can achieve some surprising results.
Take for instance this painting I did. None of the design and painting
in Vibrance was planned. It just happened as I focused on
the giving part of my piece that would soon become Found Art! as
one of my Dream
Journals I would soon leave behind for a stranger to enjoy.
My energy level and mood was high during the creative process of Vibrance.
It was such a joy to create. I used a combination of sponge wedges
and cotton pads to create the energetic design over a blank book
cover.
By the way, the recipient liked
it, and so did I. I couldn't paint that very same picture again no
matter how hard I tried.
It's truly one of a kind... just like the things you create.
Interestingly, the same "letting go" process is available
to us during journal writing too. How therapeutic.•
