The Purple Magnolia

24/09/2026

Back on track.
After the passing of my sister in August, I just could not get myself to do some art journalling.
This afternoon just confirmed that even when we don't have much inspiration and don't know where to start (I have not touched a journal for about 7 weeks), we just need to get out some supplies, start by breaking the blank page with some paint ... and let go.
I used elements from the Mintay peachy breeze art journal book as my main elements.
