Here it is…I can finally show you my page (51) in this 2011 calendar. It’s printed and ready to order. I love this design of one of my doodle bugs…a doodle fly!!
It says, in three languages:
see the invisible
feel the intangible
achieve the impossible
The calendar is ready to be ordered…you can order it here.
It was such an honor to be included as a positive message…
This is movement toward the edge of what’s possible for me…for I have struggled with my small fine art pieces for some time now. That inner struggle all artists face when you are unsure about the worth of your art. And I am not just speaking of monetary worth, but the intrinsic worth as a piece of art history.
I was a muralist and a graphic designer for most of my 35-year professional career… dealing with very large paintbrushes and/or a computer mouse and stylus. Picking up a tiny fine art brush is way, way out of my comfort zone and intimidates me still. I had a large visual voice and I was paid well for using it….validation!
So putting my small artwork forth into the world is a giant leap of faith for me. Again working through blessed discomfort. Being accepted, and now published, is validation that I am coming into my own as a fine artist. There is much room for growth, but I am moving toward my new visual voice….and so enjoying the journey.
