Quirky Birds – Life Book 2013

I’ve been part of the Life Book 2013 class and have been really enjoying each of the weekly lessons, can’t wait to have a whole year compiled :-)

This past week was drawing quirky birds and I so wish I would have taken photos of progression….because in the beginning I DID NOT like these at all! But I am really happy with the end result.

Check out LIfe Book HERE

And my quirky birds, enjoy.

Color Theory – Psychology of Purple {Art by Julie M, www.juliem.pro}

Purple – makes one think of flowers and royalty. It is seen as artificial or unreal by many since it is not frequently seen in nature.

Positive traits of PURPLE:

  • Luxury
  • Wisdom
  • Creativity and imagination
  • Calming
  • Inspirational
  • Sophistication
  • Feminine
  • Romantic

Negative traits of PURPLE:

  • Cruelty
  • Exaggeration
  • Excess

Did you know that in ancient times purple dyes were expensive and typically royalty were the only ones seen wearing purple. Could be why it is associated with royalty.

Another little fact about purple is that in the military the Purple Heart i a symbol of courage.

Enjoy finding and using the color purple in your home, office and art.

Friday Fav ♥

Today’s Friday Fav is a little share of my son’s work. He is 7 right now and I am so proud of his drawing abilities. Here he used a new stencil from Jane Davenport, you can find it over HERE. I didn’t even get to use the stencil and he swiped them up to use – UGH!!!! But he created a really neat piece of art and this mama couldn’t be more proud.
