Evolving Art


Art evolves. You start with an idea, like I did in my art journal of woman shapes and letters from an old stencil from when I use to do church posters and signs when I was in high school. You do a picture and keep pushing it to the limit. Throw on some paint. Use a stencil. Experiment. Don't be afraid of messing up. You can cover up anything with more paint, gesso or collage elements. Have fun. Discover the joys of creation. Just imagine how much fun God when he was creating the world. Of course, he got it right the first time. We messed it up with our own alterations but that's what we creatives do......well, stick to the canvas or paper and just go for it!
