Snow on the mountains

 

Bleubeard and I are joining Jo from Let's Art Journal today at Art Journal Journey with her theme Snowy Winter.

You've heard me say before, I can't draw, nor do I care to.  However, I came up with this simple mixed media entry I hope looks like three distinct mountains with snow falling on them.

Granted, the snowflakes look more like snowballs, but you have to use your imagination in my world.  I should mention that I used two different colors of blue on this security envelope.  The white snowflakes were made with a watercolor pencil.

 

The mountains were created using various papers, including foreign text and sheet music.  I used a black watercolor pencil to create the mountains, then used my finger to smudge the lines a bit.

I used a combination of green and brown on the base of the mountains which were created using another security envelope.

It is definitely trying to snow on these mixed media mountains.  Note the line on the right that goes the entire length of the scan.  This is why I am finally biting the bullet and getting a new scanner.  It's my Christmas present to myself that I am telling everyone it will come from the "boys."   I have been doing research and think I know the one I want.  Until then, I will just have to live with this scanner.

 

Bleubeard and I want to thank everyone for taking time to visit today. Your visit means a lot to us.  We also hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Snowy Winter.

 

And because I want to join Nicole's Friday Face Off, 

 

 

here is a photo some of you may have seen that I took of the young fat one last week when I was testing the settings on my new camera.  Yes, he needs a new collar.  He goes through them faster than almost as fast as he goes through a bowl of kibble.
