I’m in Paris on a business trip. I brought enough art supplies (small notebook, pencils, pens, camera) to get a little bit of art done every day. Today I will go see some art at Musee d’Orsay too.

Two New Mined Art Prompts
These are two more mined art prompts that I used to create small doodle drawings in my moleskine journal. The small 3×5 paper was put on the paper and then I interpreted shapes and colors around the “prompt.”
For this one below, I saw the nostrils and skin colors on the paper, and that made me feel that a portrait was called for.
Mining for Art
Here’s a fun little art thing I do – kind of like writing prompts. I go to the art store and “mine” the little pieces of paper people use to try out various pens and pencils. Just collecting these is a lot of fun. I know they are just thrown away by the art store as they accumulate, but I still feel like somehow it is stealing to take them. The best ones are on a glassine type paper, but I haven’t found any of those in a long time.
I take them and collage them into art, or like this piece, I put it right in the center of the page and worked a piece of art around it. I call this one “Collision.”
