Get Messy Thursdays, on a Friday. A blame my tardiness on the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions and other senior citizen-ish things that have had me preoccupied this week. The new season of the Get Messy Art Journaling program just started, and the theme this time around is magic.

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Serenity, Weeks 4 + 5
I did a little bit of painting last week, but very little art journaling, so I decided to throw together a combination post for Weeks 4 + 5 of the Get Messy Art Journal challenge, Season of Serenity. Several of these pages feature poems…

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Serenity, Week 3
So I got a tiny bit brave today and made my first Periscope broadcast, doing a little flip-through of my sketchbooks and art journals. You can watch it here… until it expires and vanishes… or whatever happens to Periscopes? Clearly I have a lot to learn…
