Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!
why: Instead of harvest/autumn season influence in my next journal notebook geometric design, I had this idea of Christmas peppermints scattered throughout so that's the direction for #23. This posting is a personal series for a journaling notebook idea that I started in March 2025. Piet Mondrian, famous Dutch painter, is well-known for his geometric designs that had black and white spaces and color blocks. He also did some abstract overlapping style compositions and landscapes. This time I wanted different sizes and shapes so there are some 3 x 3, 1 x 5, 1 x 1, etc. I also wanted the circle peppermint shapes to be bold so that's why they were done in marker.
when: #23 My Mondrian Mondays Journal Page on Monday October 6, 2025.
what: Project #1: Candy Christmas Crunch Geometric Design
