Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
why: My purpose for the post is to share my newest installment, notebook page, in my art journal. About 20 weeks ago I started this notebook for geometric designs inspired by famous painter Piet Mondrian. Mondrian did paint nature and daily stuff however it's the geometric blocked paintings that I want for my spring-boarding/ brainstorming. Scroll to the bottom of the post for 2 of his paintings that were specific for today's geometric design journal page.
when: #17 is published on Monday August 11, 2025.
what: Geometric Ocean and Piers crossed with Composition 7
how-to & vendor notes:
1. journaling notebook with elastic band closure; 80 sheets in peach graph/grid print; distributed by Dollar General Stores
2. mechanical pencil + gray and 3 blue tone colored pencils = stash
3. gray and black retractible marker pens = Zebra Clickart
4. go to bottom of the post for the 2 paintings of Piet Mondrian that I tried merging together into my geometric design for #17
