I'm finally working on my art journal again. I hadn't touched it for quite a while except to gesso some pages. But two days ago I just sat down and put some acrylic paint on a page and today it's almost done - I just need to do some journaling. I used the heavy body acrylics again, I love those, and what I especially like about them is that it is so easy to add some texture to the paint. This time I simply pressed some bubble wrap into the wet paint and like the texture that I got. So easy.
There are more great works of art to see at Paint Party Friday - go and treat yourself to some wonderful bloghop.

wonderful in all ways
colors, design, really a nice piece.
this is simply beautiful.
LOve this - the blue shape reminds me of both a heart and a home/arch. The birds are wonderful. Thanks for sharing,

Beautiful journal page and such fabulous colours. Happy PPF, Annette x
Hey Carola, I really, really like this piece so much!! The colors just sing for me, what a terrific job you did on this journal cover, great work!
More birds! but not owls....
Lovely piece and great colour combinations!
You have such wonderful ideas, Carola. I have a lifelong friend named Carola who is a quilter, a seamstress, a cardmaker, and a fabulous photographer. Your enthusiasm reminds me a lot of her. (I've tried to get her to start blogging but she says she's too busy.)

Very cool painting! I love the birds and all the flowers and designs!
Great colors in your journal..this is really nice! Happy PPF :)
Oh Carola, the colors are so yummy! I love the birds on the branch. It's very well balanced, design wise. I have never tried heavy body acrylics. Forgive my ignorance, but they are the ones in the tubes, right? I have only used the acrylics in the bottles. Have a wonderful holiday weekend! Happy PPF :-)
We like the same colors...this is a very fun piece!!!

I love this, the colours are superb!!
Hi Carola! I approve of your color choices very much, that shade of teal is my favorite and I love it paired with orange...and all of the other little touches you gave the page...very interesting and pretty.
Oh, and those poppies below! My favorite flower...I love them in red too. ♥♥♥
WOW, I love the color palette you chose- it's so passionate and intense- LOVE it! And I must say, as a newbie to journaling, thanks for mentioning that you gessoed some pages, I know this is kind of obvious, but it really never occurred to me to do that ;) Great solution to bleed throughs and light weight papers- so THANK YOU!
Happy PPF (a day late ;))

Magnificent colors making a nice composition, very interesting design. Greetings.
I always enjoy taking a peek into another's art journal; it's inspiring and fun to see how they view the world or their day. I love the strength of these colors and the subtle textures. Think I'll go pull out my journal right now..... :)

Oh, you combined ALL of my favorites on one page! The color palette (YUMMY!), birds and houses. All of those speak to me personally. Beautiful page! I'm also a big fan of the heavy body acrylics! :)
So vibrant and full of details.
