Happy New Year! My top 12 of 2012…

Happy, happy 2013! I hope this year brings you blessings, peace, and lots of art. And cookies.

As promised, here are my "top 12 of 2012" journal pages…

This first one isn't a journal page, it's a canvas. But I love it. There's just something about the composition as a whole that made it "click" for me.

This one's not a journal page, either…it's a crazy piece I did at ArtFest in Jesse Reno's class. It's big and weird and I just had so much fun creating it.

I like this girl's weird coloring and strong attitude.

There's something so powerful in a gestural line…that's something I want to explore more in 2013.

Half faces, but still powerful.

A page about insecurities…don't we all have them?

I really love this one. I used it for my new business cards and some 5×7 prints.

I still love the power of simple shapes…like the heart.

And this year saw the beginning of my gelli-printing obsession…

And my love of silhouettes rages on…

There is still no better place than a journal to spill out your emotions…

Let whatever you do today be enough. Amen.

Have a joyous New Year!
