Ontario to Saskatchewan Post 1

We're going on a little family holiday soon and Jupes wanted a new journal to write/art in for the trip. I made them this last night, they picked the colors. Then I made myself one. Then I drew Jupiter's book inside my book. Jupes said this is journal-ception.

French stitch is still my favorite by far. Coptic is basically dead to me, lol.

Orr Lake Golf Club Work Projekt 2026

https://langnertimon-dqync.wordpress.com/2026/07/24/orr-lake-golf-club-work-projekt-2026/

Last night's journaling was a youtube video at 12:07 am (just _try_ to pull me away from my desk when I start painting, I dare ya) from a guy talking about chronic illness, and urging one to remember that what you focus on all day begins to become your life. I really liked this. I've been experiencing some much better days lately, and there's been this wild crack into my world where light comes in, where I'm aware that I have space to think about ENTIRE OTHER THINGS than the pain I'm in. I'm currently filling this time with painting and reading (still working on the 1920's Bombay mystery, I go slow so it won't end).

While the guy talked, I painted him. All wobble and toss, but who cares, yo? I'm still committed to All Art Is Good Art. I don't mean every work is technically skilled. I mean, if it made you feel good to make it, then it's GOOD ART. I really liked this guy's face. All grey grizzly beard and thoughtful lines around his eyes.

I love Tom’s Studio pens but the two Studio Pocket fountain pens I have BOTH have pretty terrible leakage problems. Yesterday I finally bit the bullet and got a full-sized Studio Fountain Pen, only because I don’t want to give up all my flex and semi-flex nibs from them, and that pen has a different converter.

And only now in writing this do I pause to consider that maybe I just got a bad batch of cartridges (not converters). Hmmm. Well. Perhaps I will write to the company and explain the PENDICAMENT. They’ll probably throw some converters into the package for me, they’re nice like that.

Also: I’m running a little low on Carbon Black so I’m trying Sketch Ink’s EMMA, which is green and mossy and full of win, I love it so much!

Schetsjes gemaakt met referenties van de site Line of Action. Best heel handig. Ik vond de pagina wat saai, daarom heb ik de negatieve ruimte ingekleurd met aquarelverf.

It’s a very simple doodle but I really liked how I colored this cocoon :)

This is my first rose, and also the first time I did a pencil outline and then watercolored it in (versus my usual pen and ink sketches filled in with watercolor). I’m happy with it; I sketched it standing in my neighbor’s garden. They’re total sweethearts and gave me previous permission to draw their flowers. Hollie Happily Haunts Your Flowerbeds. Greg sat on our porch across the street. We’d just had a great talk about some of my chronic illness issues (which are still unfun, but the painting helps a lot). Art journaling is my forever jam.

How do I stay motivated when learning something new? I had to answer this WordPress prompt because of what I am going through right now, and what I thought about this morning is totally me!

I paint flowers, lots of them. I am currently trying to figure out this whole Etsy keywords SEO thing. I woke up and wanted to meditate and have a gratitude morning. Instead, I opened up my computer and headed over to my shop. AND, I felt hopeless. It has been 6 months, and I have a few sales. I like my work, but I know it’s all in the presentation. Have I created the art that people want to buy? Then there are titles, keywords, and the SEO that frankly, I am sick of.

Then something in me said, ” We have to make this work. There is no if.” This is my dream. I am putting this out there in the world and seeking guidance. I trust and believe the answer will find me! In that moment, I went back to last year’s work and added new pieces to my shop. Then I made a few changes to my keywords and switched out some frames. It was beautiful!

Inside, I felt like a kid in a candy store, or better yet, that kid who is told we are going to paint today, here are the tools, have fun!

How do I stay motivated when I am learning something new? I feel what I feel, give myself a pep talk when I need it, and get back in there and do what I love! Most importantly, I look for a positive lesson that I can learn from and move forward with.

Do I want to share my work with the world? I do! That is the biggest positive reason to move forward. And that made me smile. Here I am. I am going to go for a stroll and splurge on that dessert.
