August 2025 Journal Update
August has been a long month with a lot more time spent wrangling health issues than I anticipated but I still got a bit of painting done. I feel like what I did make reflects the stress a bit buuuut it's still colourful so I'm fine with that. If you're going to be anxious it may as well be visually interesting.
Having said that, the September self portrait actually looks a bit comforting on reflection. I'm feeling blanket. I'm feeling cocoon! Peek below or in the self portrait gallery.
I also added some more to the Brown Book, it's over half full now and creaking in a very satisfying way under all that mixed media.
Same with the Pink Book, I've been sketchbooking as a distraction this month and just messing with whatever textures and colours come to hand.
That's your lot for this month! I'm gonna round off August tucked in to bed with an iced coffee and some Minecraft, save some juice to hopefully paint in September. I'll be back in a month with an update on that and hopefully a wee bit more energy!
