Dearest Reader, this and a few following posts may seem like quite a departure from my journal posts so far but I finally decided (thanks Shauna) to post it anyways because this is still my journey with Jesus.
You may have noticed in a few of my journals including the one just before this I ended up before a huge canvas... there is a huge reason for that. I am almost ashamed to admit it but I have felt such a weight and pull to create art ... BIG ART... for a few years now and I knew it had to be God pulling me because in my mind's eye it was different from what I had done before... more daring, more wild. But I was overwhelmed and remained frozen there for a really long time. Questions like how do I start? With what medium? Is it an image or emotion?
These pictures are from my first day of actual graffiti of any size at all. This is a huge step for me I am one of those people that wants things to be good right away lol... and so the consequence is I either don't do things I really want to or I do a small controlled version of it. Funny thing about spray paint though you are committed as soon as you start. Hahaha!
These are my son's initials, he has been so supportive of my desire to speak through graffiti and street art.
In my hesitating to actually step out and do this... I have been practicing while working in my shop with my lumber crayons...
Or on paper with pastels...
or just doodling on paper....
Hey Jesus, thanks for helping me take this leap.
