My friend, Suzie, inspired me to start an art journal. I enjoy looking at other art journals and even have a couple of books on the subject. A while back I purchased a sketch book and just haven't gotten around to doing anything with it...so I thought I'd try it out. The pages are a little too thin as they want to curl a lot. I have trouble coming up with text to add to the pages....hopefully this will get better over time. As I was working on this page, I was listening to the radio, as always, and a song came on that I like, so I put some of the lyrics on the page. As Suzie indicated when she started....I hope my own style emerges over time. As of right now I feel my work is very influenced by other artists I admire.
