Playing in my journal

Sometimes I don't want to think, I just want to push some paint. Without an idea, concept or inspiration... just a brush or two, some paint and my journal. This is one of those pages. Except - I didn't start on a blank page. See those reddish marks on the right side? I found something that even the sturdy moleskine pages can't resist. I squiggled Dr. Ph. Martin's Persimmon watercolor paint directly from the bottle on the opposite side. Obviously - it went through! Who would have guessed! I think it just added to the funny character that appeared on the opposite page. Fun! Love happy mistakes.

    I would have known those were a mistake if you hadn't said something. Very cool page.

    Another gorgeous journal page...I like how the red has bled through (I have that trouble with my moleskin journal...I have glued a couple of pages together...should have just gone with the flow).
    Love the diversity of your faces!
