I set up my artist space. I haven't organized all my crap yet, but I went ahead and set up what I could. I have some pretty good lighting, but I think I need to set up some additional lighting right at the desk.
I also started a new collage today. I'm very excited! I found a 12"x16" canvas that my daughter must have forgotten she had. It was just mixed up in my art supplies. So I have pilfered it. From my daughter. I'm such a wonderful mom ;)
I have never done a collage on canvas before. And I don't usually work with anything larger than a sheet of paper in a sketchbook. So this is a new experience for me. I knew that I wanted to do a piece that is a reflection of me and where I'm at in my journey. I'm really pleased with it so far and I will definitely post a pic once it's finished.
I like the way it makes me feel to work on a collage. It's kind of like a creative puzzle... taking things that draw me in and manipulating them that way. I always shrugged off what I do with collages. I'm not a "real" artist because I use art and photos that have already been created. But I think now that what I do is art... in it's own way. And regardless, it makes me happy to work. In the end, that's all that matters.
