"Blood-red
blooming
in my soul
spreading,
wide and strong,
stretching,
reaching,
searching for
release
into the world."
This is a page from my upcoming circle journal project with Kelly Snelling. I cannot wait for this exchange to get underway but in the meantime, I am creating a few pages to start my journal off on its journey. I am working on raw canvas, gessoing the pages before painting, and then creating whatever images come to mind. Paradoxically, I am purposely trying to work spontaneously, without my usual amount of pre-project planning and pondering. A large red flower flashed into my head and off I went!
Michelle, this is stunning in its simplicity. Gorgeous page. Love that it's on "raw canvas" too. Hugs, Terri xoxo
