Solace

We had a journal page swap called "Solace" which is part of an all year theme of "Nature's Blessings".
Solace and comfort for me is the sea and with the waves coming in. I love the noise and it seems to take all your troubles back out to sea with it again, so I made a sea scene, or tried. I haven't used acrylic paints before and I can see by my results that I was a bit heavy on the colour and so you can't really see all the layers I've made underneath.
I do hope my partner receives it, yet again, been en route for a while.

 

I'm hoping that practice makes perfect in my mixed media projects and that i can make a better job of the next one.

This is the one I received from my partner and I love the simplicity and the softness of it.

I've also had to do my first journal page swap.........a big step for me, but it's good to get out of the comfort zone.
This page had to have the theme - "A generous Heart". Here is my page and although I'm not totally satisfied with it, will leave it as is and see what the others do for theirs. As this is my first, can only get better.
