So, after a nice 3-week holiday break, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sometimes we just need to get off the merry-go-round and smell the roses. Hopefully you had time to do that, too.
Part of my "break" has been no travel pics to process. I usually think of that as my job (lest they fall into that proverbial Black Hole) but with fewer excursions these days, I'm being kind to myself.
However, I AM making two new books (one each for my Watercolor Sunday and Saturday's Color posts on Facebook) and am having a blast doing them. It's like heaven for me, when time either stands still or flies. Eternalized moments of pure, creative joy.
In the meantime, I still color Happy Color pics on my iPad and pay attention to some of the themes I'm collecting.
For instance:
I wish I knew if these are from the same artist.
The tilt, the triste: the sad, mournful, wistfulness.
What is he/she thinking?
The same/different artist? I wonder.
But more of the same "what is he/she thinking?"
This is a bit more lighthearted, perhaps...
...and a bit AI-ish?
I'm not sure if they're robots or caricatures of US the day we're full of spare parts!
At least they're carrying on as though nothing happened, seizing the day.
Life does go on, doesn't it, and now it's 2020.
Let's seize it by the horns, no matter what happens.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
Love the colours!
ReplyDeleteI do, too, Marie. And the fun thing is that I never know exactly what a design will look like till I've finished it. That's half the joy for me. :)
DeleteThese colourings are just amazing. I tried to search on the world wide web who might be the designers. Not to be found. I think they do a great job and so do you.
ReplyDeleteNow I see the smile on your face while you are creating the two books.
Happy New Year indeed. IHVJ
The Happy Color designs seem to be getting better and better with every passing day. I have a feeling they're having great success in getting new artists to draw for them. I love it! And yes, you know what makes me happy when I work on these books. Bedankt for sharing the fun.
DeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ted. It doesn't take much to thrill me. :)
DeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so much fun!
Love that you are putting books together and even more so knowing you're having such a fabulous time doing it!
Carry on!
Sending hugs and love…
As always, dear Robin, thank you for following me here. I've made the decision to slow down with this blog, posting only when there's something I want to post, like when we're traveling...or, ha, when something I'm coloring really inspires me. Thank you.
DeleteHappy New Year to the both of you. Let's make 2020 a year to remember.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely and THANK YOU, Marie! It's already off to a good start!
DeleteI love how you embrace these pleasures, Boots!!
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you, Ruth. This is one that's therapeutic in so many ways. Sometimes I actually have to wonder why and then just realize it's totally up my alley. Go figure. :)
