Introducing: Lined Notebooks and Journals
New 6x9 inch journals and notebooks available on Amazon.
In the studio, I use journals and notebooks to collect my thoughts and keep notes on paintings as they progress. One of my biggest pet peeves has been no way to keep track of where entries begin for each painting, so I implore a variety of methods, ribbon and bookmark placeholders, sticky notes sticking out everywhere.

Red Tulip Lined Notebook / 6x9 in., 160 pages
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
At the same time I was looking for a new swag gift for collectors of larger works that was more substantial than a bookmark or magnet.
As a professional graphic designer of 30 years it was a no brainer to design journals to be a little more forward thinking. With numbered pages, a fill-in-the-blank style table of contents, and college-ruled light gray lines, these long needed simple features are so useful!
Currently there are eight journal/notebook designs available on Amazon featuring some of my most popular paintings.
Lined journal/notebooks feature:
Numbered pages
College ruled lines for writing
Blank Table of contents
Matte finish softcover
White pages with light gray printing
6x9 inch with 160 pages
Spring Peonies: A 30 Day Journal
For those who find a blank journal intimidating, I created a 30 day daily self-reflection journal that features:
Single sided pages to allow for use of coloring tools or markers;
Daily prompts for charting mood, gratitude, awareness, and daily affirmations;
College ruled lines for daily writing
Table of contents
Page full of writing prompts for inspiration
Two summary pages with prompts
3 grayscale coloring pages of peony paintings
Light gray printing throughout
Square 8.25x8.25 inch format offers larger writing area than typical 6x9 inch journals
As a gentle reminder, included on the back cover of each journal/notebook are the words BE HOPEFUL. I hope these hopeful little journals bring you joy and you find a few minutes each day for yourself to fill the pages with your story.
Find Balance / 6x9 inch, 160 pages
Featuring the chakra stone painting, "Find Balance," this journal has seven page designs i the seven Chakras which can be colored or circled for charting, and college ruled lines for writing. The back of each page is lined to allow more space for reflection.
