This weeks colour palette ~ Mustardy yellows, reds, coral pinks and black. Warm and wonderful. 
I love this mood board as is! I am inspired to make some abstract art just looking at it.
My goal this week is to use these colours to create art in any medium and any style. I like the idea of preconceived colours. I find it easier to concentrate on certain aspects of art one step at a time. If I already have the colours in my head then I am already one step ahead. I can spend my creative energy thinking about my motifs, playing with lines and shape, composition. 
It is no surprise that I love these colors. I am surrounded by them here at home.
My walls are painted ginger root, I have large red and orange patterned pieces everywhere – throw cushions,blankets, lampshades and ,of course, artwork.
Living in the mountains, my landscape is always in shades of watery grays and blues. I want my house to be warm and cozy amongst the setting.
No wasted paper in this household – I took my colour moodboard and using my shapes and colours transformed it into some art journal pages.
I am still playing in my art journal on a daily basis cutting new shapes and trying my hand at some abstract backgrounds. I have been spending a lot of time with my scissors these days.
When in doubt stick a bird on it…so I did.
Finally, moving along from analog to digital, a little photoshop work below as I try to master the program. it is a slow process but I find that the more I play with it, the greater my understanding. Scanning has also become a big part of my daily routine now.
If you follow me on Instagram you will notice that a few of these images are from last week. I hate to bombard you with the same images, but I have decided to start a weekly #penpaperpaintpattern blog series with a chosen color palette for the week and create art around it. Every week I will then post here about my discoveries. It’s a plan and i am trying to be two steps ahead.
Enjoy the week,
