About Art Escapes
Page-a-day
ideas
Keeping a visual journal can be easy if you commit to just a "page-a-day." How
can you possibly find enough subjects? How can you not? Draw your cup of coffee, a cloud
floating by, the cat sleeping. Your subjects are all around you—waiting for you to
notice them. Page-a-day ideas are scattered throughout Art Escapes. Here are a
couple to try.

Café Art
One of my favorite journaling activities is what I call Café
Art. I complete a page in my journal in the time it takes me to finish sipping a drink. I
discreetly write, draw and paint my daily journal entry while enjoying a private moment,
away from the demands of others. Treat yourself to a café art date each week and take
advantage of a perfect page-a-day journal opportunity.

The Collection
One of the joys of travel is becoming aware of the differences
between cultures. Gather together a group of items spiced with local color—objects
delightfully different from home or special in some singularly foreign way. The subjects
of your journal collections are the direct reflections of what you uniquely observe and
love about the country, state, or city you visit.
