Be Glad


Glad is a funny word sort of short and blunt to describe an emotion that makes us feel good.


I struggled with this piece of art, wanting to use this napkin to it's fullest, it wouldn't come together, one part looked soft and other parts looked harsh, that happens when one tries too many techniques, has too many ideas, and tries to put them all in one piece of work. The experience really isn't work either it is pure enjoyment. A lot of thought, as I consider tossing it in the waste paper, or continueing. Continueing is usually the best. Sometimes I think this can't get any worse, frequently it starts to get better, the lesson is to keep going.
