Who

Hi all!

Just finished my page:

While I enjoyed making it, it looks like a huge glut! This completely demonstrates my tendency to fill in every square centimeter of space on the page. One thing I want to develop is my ability to leave blank space, to choose one element and have it be enough.

The funny thing is, that is the same challenge I have in my life! To fill every second with STUFF. Yes, it’s great stuff—but maybe I’d be better able to appreciate it if I picked and chose and FOCUSED a little. Ya think? ;)

Anyway, this truly does represent most of the elements of my life! It’s difficult to see all the different elements here because I need to find a way to resize files from my scanner so I had to take a photo instead. My favorite part is probably the blue sticky note from my daughter that says “Best Mom” in her 5-year-old printing.

Looking forward to seeing how my art evolves over the next weeks…
