It's Friday and that mains Paint Party Friday! I haven't been there a lot recently, and only a week ago I came back from our trip up the Oregon and Washington coast. But now it definitely is time to join the party again.
I'm still full with all the images of our coastal trip. This was one of my most favorite trips ever and I deeply fell in love with the Pacific Northwest. No wonder that it is a topic in my creative work as well. Here is my newest art journal page, just finished this morning.
I used some patterned paper scraps, book page, cardstock, acrylic paints, two stamps and PITT pens.
I'm also linking this to Studio JRU for Sneak Peek Friday. Please come and visit the other artists as well.

I love this!!! Yellow/gold is my favorite background, and I'm crazy for houses.

I'm thrilled to hear of someone falling in love with the Pacific Northwest because it is, obviously, attached to Canada's Pacific southwest where I spent most of my life. My hometown, on the Pacific by the US border, will always be home to me, no matter how long I live out here on the prairie.

Great background and love the figure in black. Happy PPF, Annette x
It is always so much fun to visit you and see what wonderful creative project you have been doing...this is wonderful.
beautiful colors, I'm glad you enjoyed the Pacific North West
I especially love the silhouette! And the sunset type colors...from a distance I can see the shape of the cross formed by the windows and door of the house. So good to see what you have been up to!
I like the figure in black too and the background seems to be calling to that person. Nice job. Happy PPF!
Lovely page Carola. I share your love for the coastal areas.
nice and true art
I love the contrast of the beautiful sunny orange and the and dark shadow. Beautiful! I am often so inspired by art journal pages--I really do need to start one of my own!
I love all the colors and textures to this piece, you've really captured a sort of bittersweet longing for the place- and that heart was the perfect finishing touch; gorgeous!
Happy PPF (a day late;))

Love the colors and I really love your dream of a cottage on the beach...ahhh Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Fondly, Roberta
Oh, I know that feeling, dreaming of the place you just left. This is a wonderful page. I especially love the little plants at the bottom
Lovely work Carola! I can really feel the warmth and heart in this piece~ you sure are having fun!
This is a such a lovely piece - I can really feel the warmth of the place with the gorgeous orange shades you've used. I've never been to the Pacific North West but dream of touring the whole of the States some day if my lottery numbers would just hurry up and come up!
Such gorgeous colors, Carola.
Oh this is pretty, Carola!
Eine wunderschöne Seite in ganz tollen Farben, Das rote Herz ist ein wunderbare Hingucker, schöne Idee.
Zu deiner Frage wegen des "be still woman" Motivs... Es gehört zu einer Stempelplatte von Non Sequitur.
I can just imagine your beautiful inspiration for this piece! It is gorgeous. Love the colors Carola!
I've never been to the pacific northwest but this makes me want to go!
Beautiful page - I dream of sunsets over the Pacific but most times I am on the coast the clouds are out. :(
Oh this is SPECTACULAR!!!!! I love your work!!! The photo on your blog top is wonderful too!!! Deb
This page is just stunning! I am new to mixed media art journaling but am absolutely loving it! Thanks for the inspiration!
Very nice silhouette, adore the red heart within.
Now that could be me :)
Yum. What delicious colors. I love the layered look, too.
I think the introspection in this piece is just beautiful and speaks to deeper feelings. It really is beautiful~
Gorgeous piece of work!
