My message today is quick and simple, and it is:
You are an artist, if you want to be one.

I wrote it in my art journal to remember it myself. I hope you’ll do the same.

  1. Wow. The colors in this are amazing. I think I would fall under the “want to be one” category. :)

  2. Thanks Jennifer, being an artist or not is up to you. I both want to be one and am one, on some days, other days I feel I can’t even use my paints properly at all! Other days yes, I’m on top of the world! Hehe. ;-)

  3. Yes! Totally agree. Just discovering that for myself. Lovely pages.
    Wish I could get my photos that clear, I lose so much detail.

  4. The eyes have it, so fun that they are different and the blue
    hair, we should all have blue hair at least for a day!

  7. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE their eyes! They look like they’re wondering or dreaming or pondering on a new idea!

  8. Oh i love the wonderful whimsical imagery you are using and the juicy colours too! What paints do you use? They are so vibrant!

  9. These colorful characters are 100% Hanna style! I feel like if I saw those somewhere anonymously, I would still know that you made them. Keep on creating!! xoxox tj

  10. Violette, thanks for commenting! These are a mix of different acrylic brands, but I think mostly caran d’arche water soluble crayons on top of a gessoed page, and then mixed with water. They are my favorite colours! Metta!

    TJ, thank you for your kind comment and the link to your postcard request. I think it’s cool that you see my style so clearly, and I don’t… :-)

  11. Oh Hanna, I love these! I also feel so encouraged when I see the affirmations of “You are an Artist” and the like! Love the vividness of your pages! Yeah!! Thanks for sharing :D
