I have been working in the red shed doing some spray painting and attempting to just add colors that will go well together. I tend to add colors that look good together in theory but when they are sprayed onto the page it grays out---don't want that! These will probably be book pages or something. These are front and back of 
When I am "throwing paint around" and it's time to quit because it's 12:00 am and I know that I have to stop my brain so I can sleep I throw all the leftover paint into a cheap Walgreens sketch pad. These take acrylic paint very nicely because actually the paper is sturdy. I also had some crackle on this one that I was wondering if it would still crackle because it was about all dried up. So I find that sometimes in cleaning up my pallet I make things that are better than the thing I was making. It's that "no think-no pressure" thing again. I am thinking that sometimes it's not what you paint but the colors in the painting that make the painting. It's pretty much all about color anyway. Color is alive. God uses it all the time very successfully!
In the larger journal, 11 x 14. I like this journal because the pages are thick and take gesso really well. I have this wonderful color wheel I bought from Beverly Gilbert that helps you coordinate colors. I started with the peachy color and the color wheel told me that these other two colors would work well with it. It was right! I think it will be a very useful tool.
