Even more so than January, springtime signals to me a time of new beginnings. The dreadful dreariness of winter lifts and the promise of flowers, warm weather and sandals awaits me. It’s no wonder that as we come out of hibernation, we want to clear out our nests.
Declutter Art Journal PromptIn this blog post, I share with you my “declutter” list as well as the declutter lists of some of the students in my Painting with Words online class.

Art by students in Painting with Words
(all art reprinted with permission from the artists)
1. Art by Natasha Papousek: Notice how the roses are scattered about the letters and words…signaling spring. 2. Art by Tamara Hampton Meadows: Love the colored backgrounds… I also like the idea of decluttering jewelry…reminds me that I have a tangled nest of necklaces in my jewelry box. 3. Art by Patti Salvaggio: The Sol LeWitt stylized patterned background is awesome and I love the way she used white transparent boxes to make the letters pop. The three-dimensional letters are also cool as well as the flowers instead of periods. 4. Art by Victoria Freeman: Love the way the girl is holding up a banner and she chose to put her title on the side vertically. |
