17th January




Letting Go


This started off as a collage about creative power, with a whole lot of words that came to mind as I was dwelling on the jumble of things that affect me as I work on something, or even just think about working on something. It reached a messy point where I nearly gave up. This is a good place despite the anxiety involved, because then I can throw caution to the winds and let loose. Hey it can't get any worse can it? So I changed media and decided to practice my face proportions and play with paint and shadows, trying to capture a face with some liveliness expressed. Here she is, grinning, thinking about something amusing. Maybe the humour I feel as I watch myself fighting to enjoy myself, until I just let go and the tension lifts!
