During the river of stones month I went on a week’s holiday to the Aquitaine region of France. I knew that I would have more time to work on my stones while I was away (it was mainly a relaxing by the pool kind of trip) so I decided to experiment by combining small stones with art journalling.
Before leaving for France I hand-painted a selection of pages in muted colours that reminded me of the region (mainly greens and golds). I then drew a deliberately naieve pen sketch on each day of my trip, weaving the words of a small stone into the final drawing. On my return I painted the images. The result is a series of snapshots that really bring my memories of the trip to life.I hope you enjoy the results (click on an image to enlarge it).
These are truely beautiful works of art. Thank you for sharing.
