Art, and especially art journaling, can be very therapeutic and healing. In the mids of time when I was in a very dark place, I shut down. I was completely absent-minded and could not even see a pen or brush. However, the moment I saw a little light around me, my art journals were the first things to grab and hold on to. Writing has always been my ‘way out of it’ and since I started art journaling, the art-part has been add to that.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago, my friend Anne-Marie emailed me song lyrics that she thought I might like to read because in her eyes the text was referring to what I felt at the time… and she was right!<\/p>\n

The lyrics are part 2 of a song by the Dutch artist Bram Vermeulen. Translated, the title means something like “Get it on!” I could only find Bram performing part 1 of the song on the internet (De Beuk Erin I<\/a> – a song worth listening to, especially if you understand Dutch) but I used the lyrics of part 2 on my pages. De Beuk Erin II (lyrics)<\/a><\/p>\n

I made just the perfect monotypes to go with the text…<\/p>\n

I combined two gelatin monotypes (the two left pages) with a painted page (right) in my art journal ‘De Zeeuwse Ziel’ to make this triptych.<\/p>\n

Here are the pages once again – separately photographed – to give you a better view.<\/p>\n

This week starts with blue skies and sunshine… let’s hope it stays that way and that it will turn out to be a good week. In any case, it will be a special week to me ’cause it is my birhthday next Wednesday… can you believe I will be fifty?!! Woooohooooo… GET IT ON!<\/p>\n
