Frustrated with having to go to work and not being able to stay home and work on my art, I used that energy to create a piece that was out of my comfort zone this evening. I'm so inspired and in awe of artists who use portraits in their work, and I have always avoided it, unless it was required for an assignment. I realized this is a bit ridiculous, considering I ask my students to self-portraits all the time. The older they get a bit of fear begins to show on their face. At some point as a child we lose that ability to just let loose and have fun! We talk about how things "don't have to be perfect" daily in my classroom, so I figured I should just take my own advice and "go for it!" and have fun.
I started going through a ton of scrapbook patterned paper I have, and found a sheet that was covered in inspirational quotes and sayings. I am thinking of adding text into this piece with a possible image transfer, or hand painted lettering. Here is where I am so far! Can't wait to return home from work tomorrow and continue working on it!
