Journal Page Self Doubt

First, there was a pencil sketch,

then came the inking......

I could not begin to use color till

I figured out just exactly what was

this page about---what was behind

those eye close-ups of yours truly.

Knowing me, pretty well.......

I wrote phrase after phrase and

then turned the paper over to write

more. When I wrote what I used, I

knew instantly, that THAT was

the reason for this spread....

a reminder to stay out

of that trap of the past. I

also bothered to make 4 different quick

small color selection trials--which

I thought at the time, was adding too

much "thought" into a simple

spread...this might kill my enthusiasm......

and nothing looked good to me

until the thought of using very soft

colors crystallized and that was right...for me.
