My Mondrian Mondays Journal Page #31 on 9 March 2026

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: Finally! Another page entry for My Mondrian Mondays Journal notebook! About 3-4 weeks ago, both my husband and I had head colds. Then 2-3 weeks ago he had a cardiac stress test. Thought he passed but he didn't. So last week he had an angiogram/catherization procedure and got a stent partially cleaned out. The cardiologist did what he could within a 2 hour time frame. Hub's already feeling a difference in that 30-40% gained in just 1 small vessel! So that's great! Whew! Crazy! Then lots of challenge blog duties between Feb 27-March 7 took what remaining time I had between appointments, doggy care, etc. February's gone and March is quickly passing by, too!!! This geometric design started with overlapping an index card twice and then laying a stencil over most of those shapes. The top left corner of the stencil was placed in the top center corner near the top of the page. That's why there is a section left without stenciling. I decided not to re-lay down the stencil on that area. I thought about leaving it white but instead opted for color. I also decided to let some of the stencil shapes to overlap past the rectangle 'borders'. 

If you're not familiar with this personal project series of mine, a year ago I decided to start a journaling notebook with Dutch artist Piet Mondrian's famous geometric composition paintings as my muse. Over 30+ years he painted some still lifes, landscapes but several variations of geometric designs. Most of his geometric block designs are using squares or rectangles, so this one with mostly stenciled triangles is a quirky twist by me!!!
