A Worthy Heart

I can't say I'm ecstatic about this one. It started out okay - maybe it just isn't done yet. The fiddly bits need some more fiddling. I'm trying to stop killing my paintings with overwork, but this may be a case of too little, too soon. I'm sure some feedback would help.

24x24 canvas - mixed media - acrylic, charcoal, glass, paper and watercolor.

my heart

desires something, the

more my mind tries to convince me it

is foolish or un

worthy of

my

attention

An artist's job is to
(1) seek to further understand and interpret something he/she sees, or,
(2) to creatively explain something in an effort to convey great meaning, or,
(3) to blatently rip off someone else's ideas.

I don't know. I had cookies for breakfast and I'm going to have them again for supper, which feels like a happier thing to think about, so I really don't care.

Peace,
