2013 – 05 The Artists Journal
One of the journals i kept.
Setting the scene… I’ll begin with the journal.
“I met a little man today, who told me not to worry. He said that things will slowly change… except for those in a hurry.”
This was my first journal, at least the first one I actually filled with thoughts. I had one that was filled with sketches that was the 8×10 size as well.
I found I would write thoughts, observations, questions, poems, etc. all the time on napkins, old envelopes, parking stubs…
Writing about my history seems ever so strange to me. Maybe because I lived it. However, I am an artist and to own that, for me, says more than anything else I could write.
Years ago I painted lots more using watercolors. I painted a series titled “I Am The Dance”. It was of dancers and the mixture of watercolor and pen & ink. I created a boarder and the dancers hands and feet broke through it… opening to the universe beyond. I used different weights of pen that created the wavy vibrations of the ink line. This one is titled “The Bow”.
