finally back on track..
with journaling at least...
October art journal pages came together..
after much writing..
journaling straight on the page,
covering with gesso, paint and paper ...
and then writing again on the top layer..
writing about direction and content..
I had a wonderful skype art date with a dear friend ...
and we discussed the concern we have about being pigeon-holed
as an artist..
being locked into a style, or a medium ...
and how that is artistic suffocation...
so all of those thoughts went directly onto the page...
dear reader..
about
a desire to be able to try new products, new methods and to change direction
on a whim of creative fancy...
certainly we all want that..
don't we?
can we really be fulfilled if we..
Paint the same faces...
make the same collages?
or sculpt the same dolls?
art must be fluid, like currency...
moving and changing, growing and expanding...
ingredients: gesso, acrylic paint, pen, pencil, paper, water color pencils (Derwent) transfer, original photo, stencils, paper ephemera, ink.
Believe it or not,
I am off again...
another trip to the Caribbean...
you would think I have seen all the islands by now, but
fortunately...
I have not...
I am taking a journal
with me and traveling light with water color pencils and travel brushes..
looking forward to the color blue..
and sharing it all with YOU..
