I have to confess that this collage was not all that "quick." Originally, it was done rather quickly, but I decided I wasn't satisfied with it, so I continued to work on it, adding more layers until the part that said "Let me know" was covered up. This in keeping with my resolution to push myself farther, to experiment and learn new things about making art. More and more, I'm employing my "throw away your first five (or ten) ideas" strategy, and beginning to break new ground, as they say.
Let Me Know
mixed media collage, 5 x 7 inches
Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction. -Picasso
What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset. -Crowfoot
Let me keep my mind on what
matters,
which is my work,
which is mostly standing still and
learning to be
astonished.
- Mary Oliver
