This is the altered book page that I started last night. Love the girl not so much the rest of the page. Could not find the words that I needed. Two of us could not quite get in the groove. Realized afterwards there was no music. Sometimes music is a great help in connecting with the parts of the brain that let the muse talk to you and work your creative mojo. The great thing is I can paint, glue and otherwise continue to work on this book until I get it exactly where I want it to go.
This is another girl that I wanted in the book. Love the intensity in her face. Scratched some detail in her but think she wants more. Once again felt the look but could not put into words what I wanted to say. Need some different resources.
These are not meant to be fine art but a way to tap into emotion and open up my bigger (is it pretentious to say more important) art. Right now with the stress of houses, jobs, and dare I say politics, family and the ever looming holiday season I am not doing the art I want to do. Doing smaller work leaps into the bigger work for me. I am having some larger cradled boards prepared to do encaustic. Can't wait to get them and heat up some wax. Talked with another artist who is doing some small work as background to her jewelry pieces. Makes me want to steal her ideas. Someone told me that all art is plagiarism and the idea of proprietary ownership of ideas is ridiculous. Not sure how I feel about that but I do know I have a great deal of trouble exactly replicating any piece I do.
