I had bought a few blank photo boxes from Michaels, (that were also taking up space in the loft) and figured "what the hell?" I had 3 of them, so if I royally messed up, it wouldn't be too terrible. I had no clue where I was going with it, but layer after layer, and goodie after goodie plucked from the "stash" this is where it ended up.
This was my first mixed media piece. As a crafty person, I had bins/tubs/containers of "crap" that I had collected over the years with the hope that someday "I'm going to make something with this."

A lesson learned: Art is only as intimidating as you let it be. Have FUN with it, you may surprise yourself.
This is one of my first watercolor paintings. I like the carefree feel of it. My wonderful husband had brought me home a set of watercolors and a pad of watercolor paper. Although extremely excited, I was also pretty intimidated by them for some reason. I decided to give them a try. At first, I wasn't at all pleased with my work, but some practice, pictures and videos inspired me to experiment more. The more I played with them, instead of "worked" with them, the more fun I had, and the more pleased I was with the final products. Watercolors & Sharpie markers. This one is from a few years ago, but just came across it again. I love it and wanted to share it with you.
