Visual Journal Monday - Week 2

So I have had a heck of a time with this image today, nothing quite coming together the way I want it to. Meh. I hate those days when the universe (or art supplies) will not cooperate with you. But, here is my evolving visual journal page.


On the plus side, one thing I have learned from this visual journalling exercise is that the next time I am stuck with a painting, I will take a picture of it, print out a copy, and then experiment on the print out. Since I have several half-finished paintings right now, this is a big revelation for me.

Another thing I have learned is that creating every day is absolutely possible for me. And absolutely necessary right now, as I struggle to process some very old wounds.

Wishing you beauty and hope.

  2. I think our art evolves with us, through us, as a reflection of us, leading us, trailing us- so interconnected, this is just lovely
