This background was created using acrylic paint, scrap paper, a page from a book, and stamps on a canvas board.
Here I added the tree using torn pieces of magazine pages. I love the rough look it gives to the tree bark. Before it is finished, I will go back over it in places with some paint to tie it into the background a bit more.
I'm also feeling like I need to make time to just "play"; get out my art supplies and just see what happens. I've felt drawn back to my roots lately...throughout high school and college my focus was on watercolor and I haven't done anything in that medium in a long time. I'm wanting to get those out again and see what happens! What do you do when you feel you're in a creative rut or you are just having a hard time getting motivated?

Hi Mystele!!
You are so right about what happens when we play...wonderful things can come about without us planning for it (it is such a cool God thing!) You have been a huge inspiration to me when it comes to just "playing" and letting your creativity flow!! :) I appreciate you!
I think you should get out your watercolours and just let yourself play! Sometimes we need to walk away from a piece for a bit until we can come back with a new perspective.
Hi! Thanks so much for your comment on my blog, I love hearing from other artist mamas! You collage work is beautiful, I like the sense of mystery that I am getting from them. xo
I really do like those two. I'm a sucker for anything with a Fleur-de-lis in them.
