 "Be good, do good" is a simple yet powerful motto that encourages
both personal integrity and positive action.

"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."
- Aesop

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."
Mahatma Gandhi

"Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people
you can, as long as ever you can."
- John Wesley

"What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do
for others and the world remains and is immortal."
- Albert Pine

Wildflowers & garden flowers in harmony


where should I start? 
Consider Color Psychology: Take into account the psychological associations of different colors. For example, blue is often associated with calmness and serenity, while red can evoke passion and excitement. Choose colors that align with the intended mood and message of your project.




Pay attention to color combinations that catch your eye and resonate with the mood you're aiming for. Collect images, swatches, or samples that inspire you.


Start with Base Colors: Choose one or two base colors that will serve as the foundation of your palette. These colors will set the tone for your project and can be complemented by additional accent colors.



Like wildflowers, you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people thought you never would." - Unknown


Experiment with different color combinations and relationships to find what works best for your project. You can use complementary colors for high contrast, analogous colors for harmony, or triadic colors for balance.






Trust Your Instincts: Ultimately, trust your instincts and intuition when choosing a color palette. Your personal preferences and creative vision play an important role in the selection process, so go with what feels right for you and your project.




Wildflowers can't be controlled, and neither can the girl with a soul boundless as the sky and a spirit as free and wild as the ocean." - Melody Lee


"Wildflowers are the stuff of my heart!" - Lady Bird Johnson







"May your life be like a wildflower, growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day." - Native American Proverb




"She sprouted love like flowers, grew a garden in her mind, and even on the darkest days, from her smile the sun still shined." - Erin Hanson

These quotes celebrate the beauty, resilience, and untamed spirit of wildflowers, reminding us to embrace our own uniqueness and live freely, just like wildflowers in a meadow.

A little journey in my watercolor world from my 
past work. It is time to start on something new

 

Handmade watercolor art journal


Creating a handmade watercolor art journal can be a rewarding and creative project.
Try out new tings, new colors, and maybe add words, poems and quotes.
I also used it for collage with handpainted watercolor flowers and butterflies.


I used an old cereal box, panted white and decorated. 


Because watercolor actually moves on the paper, it is the most active of all mediums, almost a performance art.



Watercolor and pen
is cool to try


Loose watercolor and mixed media


Watercolors is the first and the last thing an artist does.


I have been doodling with ink and watercolor on paper all my life. It's my way of stirring up my imagination to see what I find hidden in my head. I call the results dream pictures, fantasy sketches, and even brain-sharpenin g exercises.


Words are small shapes in the gorgeous chaos of the world. ... they bring the world into focus, they corral ideas, they hone thoughts, they paint watercolors of perception.


Cutouts


Whimsical flowers and paint on envelopes, write some words, poems or diary notes. Make it personal, make it your artwork. 



Creating a handmade watercolor art journal allows you to combine your love for painting with the joy of journaling, resulting in a personalized and meaningful keepsake that you can treasure for years to come. Have fun experimenting with different painting techniques and styles as you fill your journal with beauty and creativity!
