Busy busy busy working in my Art/Visual Journal.
I have discovered that many of my pages lend themselves to becoming paintings. So - my next project - my next body of work - my 2015 project - will be Art Journal Paintings. The first one I've begun is a semi-self portrait in the broadest sense. My Zodiac sign is Leo and that is what I've based this painting on. Here are the Journal pages that inspire the painting.
I started with a mask. Anytime I think self-portrait, I think of using a mask.
What a better mask than my own LEO.
Along with LEOish sketches, I've added some attributes of the LEO. Some I can be proud of, like Generous and Loyal. Others are embarrassing but oh so true, like Pretentious and Vain. It's the Yin and Yang making me a whole person!
This is a self portrait from 2008 ~ the beginning of the LEO mask.
