Need inspiration? Go on over and check out my post on the Sketchbook Challenge this week. It’s a wonderful place to be inspired and get filling up your art journals and sketchbooks. The theme for this month is a “Spice of Life”. My focus was color, and how i use the autumn hues in my work all year in my art journals. What have you made in your sketchbooks with the spicy palette of autumn?

…10-11-12…..
When i peeked at the calendar yesterday, i delighted in the really cool number sequence of the date, 10-11-12. I had to make an art journal page. I made this autumn art just so i could date it! I know that many, but not all years, would have a similar interesting date sequence, right? Think about it. I like numbers like that.
I am home for a while, having just returned from Art Is You, my last large teaching venue for 2012. For now, i’m done schlepping suitcases and boxes of paints, markers, papers and stuff from coast to coast. What a beautiful teaching journey this year has been. I am so blessed. My 2013 is filling up faster than i could ever dream it! It’s time to cozy up to the cooler temps here and get busy writing to finish up my “Artful Lettering” book for Interweave.
…”Autumn is in full swing in New York the warm orange, violet and red is color Glory.”
I love my artful life…
