Speaking of J O Y ...

is the simplest 
form 
of gratitude. 

~Karl Barth

And it is with that same
spirit of 
j o y
 that I am posting 
these "almost finished" pieces.

Last post, I spoke of navigating some uncharted territory-
exploring a new ways of seeing, 
combining elements,
and mixing new mediums. 

I do consider myself an "explorer" here.

Being much more comfortable with watercolor...
I am voyaging down a road less traveled, 
trying to find my own place, 
my own thumbprint, 
my own mark 
in this fascinating and freeing 
world of mixed media.

So, what is missing 
are some words...
I've been pondering what statement or what word, 
belongs on each of piece...
and if there even 
needs to be anything.

Secretly, I've been holding off completing...
as I am going to be at 
this weekend.
(If you aren't familiar with Flora's work- check out the links above- 
I am amazed by her color, the freedom expressed, and organic nature of her pieces.)

I've been anticipating this for most of the year-
I am giddy with excitement.
I anticipate
so much inspiration,
so much learning,
and perhaps discovery of a new mark
after this experience.

And along the way... I know those words will come.

(I'll post after the weekend, and share some inspiration from Flora's Workshop!
I am humbled and grateful to have this opportunity... 
have a create-full weekend friends!

Linking up at Studio JRU for a sneak peek Friday~
