This is a deceptively simple page using one of my favourite colour combinations. As you can see below it began with a simple coat of lime green paint - just the ordinary craft kind. Next I drew some curvy lines with two colours of purple Posca paint pens, then I just began to doodle around the edges, adding a white wavy line, and a checked strip over the lime green.
I added the Modigliani lady having copied the image in black and white, and used a Promarker to give her some pink cheeks and altered her eyes to give her a slightly less anxious expression! Then I couldn't resist adding yet more layers to the frame - I was just having FUN.
You can also see above the difference a grey shadow makes - I added this one with a Promarker. The text is about how much I hope I can make some kind of positive difference in the world. I like to think I can - and being mostly at home I do have TIME to listen to people who need that. But sometimes I doubt myself and feel like I'm just a waste of space .... so this page was about affirming for myself that my life has real meaning and purpose and does make a difference, to someone somewhere, sometimes.
Then a bit more doodling, and little collage to fill some gaps, and it was done. Sorry this is just a short post, I'm particularly tired at the moment so its more of a lie on the sofa kind of day .... and I have an art journalling magazine to take with me!

I love purple and I love this page!! Thanks for sharing the way you made this. I think I'll try something similar...I love playing in my art journal.
I always love your creative process unfolding as you walk through a page and this is no exception. You do make a difference and I hope you ended up finding a nice magazine to take while you had a bit of a rest.
