On Saturday I headed out east on the north fork of Long Island to Jamesport.
I parked next to a flower farm and did two small sketches in my Stillman & Birn Journal.
First I did a display of spring plants.
Next I sketched the building and some of the plants outside.
Today marks the beginning of International Fake Journal Month which was created
by Roz Stendahl.
This is the third year I am participating by creating a "fake journal."
My theme this year is an imaginary road trip in a chevy convertible. My character will be stopping at a different location each day...which will be 150 miles or less apart.
The entries will be in a new blog I created which can be found at
(For some reason I can't get the link to work, but if you type in the blog address you should be able to reach it. Just in case I will also post the entries here.)

Sherry - Thanks so much.
Brinda - Thanks. Glad you will follow along.
Hilda - Thank you. This way I get to sketch lots of different places.
Your two sketches are very "Springy" looking. I like the display of pansies and tulips. Your fake journal looks like it's coming along great.
ReplyDeleteDear Joan - this road trip sounds like great fun...can I come along...I will certainly love riding the back seat with the top down. Have a great trip.
