I didn’t know I was an artist but I am really glad I found out.Â

The words say:
Here I am again making art every day! Really making art and really making it every day! You know, I didn’t think I was an ARTIST because I can’t draw. Art is so much more than drawing someone’s likeness. Why didn’t I learn that in school? Why didn’t I have more confidence in my (creative) self way back then - at least I am discovering it now. I really believe that as well as confidence in my creative self, I really lacked TECHNIQUE - the SKILLS to make it happen and the CONFIDENCE to try.

Gorgeous entry in your art journal. I can relate to the feelings of i don’t know… inadequacy? as an artist because of the inability to draw. And even despite my learning to understand it’s not just about that, I still feel I have a ways to go. An art journal sounds like a really nice idea and I have a few books I want to pick up that deal with that topic. But your blog is great because I find it really fun to look at and watch your style evolve. You seem to get bolder and more confident every time. Go you! It’s great fun to watch.
