I'm in my hurry-up mode, and trying to make some more art before I leave tomorrow, so I just got out my art surface and thought of it as a journal page--having absolutely no idea what I was going to do--which is scary for me. Sometimes it takes me longer to think of what I want to do than to do the actual piece, but this time I don't have time to do that, so I thought to myself--I'm making a journal page--
.......laid down blocks of color and stamping over that.......
Okay---getting a little nervous--I wasn't too crazy about this......
.....getting a little better now with this pop of blue....
...and now I'm starting to like it a lot and.....
.....and now I'm getting ideas....I really liked the cupboard door that I did HERE--so I decided to do this style again......
...finished! So when you scroll up and see how this started, you can see how different it is--which is a good lesson for me--don't be afraid to put anything down--it can ALWAYS be covered up again.........and.......the more you cover up, the better--
....because, you'll still have the underlying layers that you started out with. This is probably the one thing that I've taken away from all of my workshops that I've taken and art books that I've read--don't be afraid to just paint! And what made this even scarier for me, was that this paint surface was on a piece of furniture--
I thought---what the heck--it's just another surface----why not journal on it???
I did some more "journaling" on the bottom surface of the table too!
I know that a year ago, I would never even have considered doing this to a table---I'm still learning......and who knows what the next year will bring to me.
I'm off again tomorrow--this is tough!! And now the weather forecast is looking a little questionable--oh no--not again--we'll see......
