Art Supplies:

Collage materials
acrylic paints
Stabilo marks all pencil
pitt pen.

This page started out as a complete disaster with two failed gel transfers, one on each page. I painted over everything and made a fresh start. The aboriginal man and the trees are based on a statue by William Ricketts.

The leaves of the tree are made from painted book pages. After I finished the page I found the (for me) perfect quote to match this page by William Ricketts:
I pervade motionless through all natures forms. The immortal soul moves in company with a divinised earth.

Thank you for submitting your art journal page

~ What a beautiful quote... motionlessness in a nondual environment.. for we are all one and "move" as one... so ture movement only exist when there is 2 -- duality .. a point a from which to move to a point b ..
~ To experience that whilst living on earth ...ahh

~ I enjoy the way the trees on your art journal page creep over both pages to shelter and provide a cavelike structure for the sage to rest...

thanks for sharing, happy art journaling
