new collage
amid the glitter and gold of holiday production, I managed to set aside some time to work on my development as a creative... an... art person. artist. ok, I said it. I still somehow manage not to consider myself an artist - in fact, this piece is the latest of a very small handful that aren't functional in any way. I mean, the clock doesn't even work. ha.
the collage I used for my banner is another non-utilitarian piece - I made it long before I had an inkling that I'd blog. I don't hesitate to make art on journal covers and ornaments and switch plates, but working on canvas is still somewhat foreign ground. so I started with a small one.

Lovely creation :)
Grace Lee said pretty much exactly my experience - first I was engaged by the bolder images and objects, then pulled in more deeply by the more subtle layers that do indeed help to reinforce the dream like quality of the piece and message of the quote. Put it all together and you've created artwork that I find successful on multiple levels. How do you feel about it?
Your art is beautiful! I love the colors and textures.
Yes, you are an artist...such inspiration!
Hope you are feeling better!
Hugs, Sharon
It's a shame we can't step outside ourselves sometimes to see the beauty in our work that others find immediately. It's wonderful that you've used the word artist despite how awkward it may feel, it is the truth.
