Art Journal Advent December 9-16 ...

December 16
*authentic*

Included a quote I love on this page.

"While everyone else chooses validation, prioritize your purpose.
While everyone else chases validation, prioritize your value.
While everyone else choses fitting in, prioritize your own lane.
While everyone else chases popularity, prioritize your peace.
While everyone else chases, prioritize being"
~Matt Gottesman~ 
December 15
*2024 in 3 words*
Living Wide Open 
Combined my art with the wonderful words of Dawna Markova

December 14
*alive*

"I don't like to say I have given my life to art.
I prefer to say art has given me my life"
~Frank Stella~

December 13
*confetti*
"I smell snow"
my favourite kind of confetti and one of my favourite lines from Gilmore Girls.


December 12
*ups & downs*

Look up at the sky
&
stay grounded


December 11
*keep*
Keep a green tree in your heart 

I added a pressed vine from the flower press to this page.
December 10
*letting go*
fly confidently in the direction your soul takes you
December 9
*dreamy*
I will always be a "look at the moon" girl!
 

A nest of spun gold
.... the words underneath the paint read ...
"She built her nest with Faith and Optimism.
Gathering twigs and weaving them with found golden thread.

When ever given the chance to have a close up look at a nest I love spotting unusual nesting materials found .... often there will be string or ribbon woven through the twigs xo

Throughout the year, I donate art to various organizations /causes.  I think it's important to "give back" in any way you can & even the smallest gestures have a huge impact!   A nest of spun gold is an original painted in acrylics on canvas board. It measures 8.5 " x 7" and is my last donation of the year to the
Layna Gallinaro Scholarship Award Silent Auction
Conestoga College, Kitchener, Ontario
through
32 auctions. com 

9 days until Christmas!!!
Have a wonderful week,
d xo
