Organic – Art Journal Pages

Still in the mood for Spring to get here. This year we will have a small garden that I hope will provide us with fresh organic foods. I don’t mind the hard work that comes with a garden because the vegetables are so good and tasty.

I was thinking about a garden, about tasty veggies, and about organic foods when it occured to me my art should be organic. By that I mean that I have lately been in a perfectionist frame of mind. Trying to get eyes perfectly shaped, necks the right length and skin color perfect. I was trying so hard to be the type of artist that I’m not meant to be and was loosing myself in the process. And not in a good way.

I’m tired of it. Tired of trying to find authenticity by getting everything just perfect. So I threw it all out. Threw out all of my thoughts and the rules and just took what was left and started painting. It is an amazing feeling of freedom to create what I want to create and not what I think others expect.

Say hello to a more organic version of my art. And settle in ( or leave if you are not into weird, funky and a little grungy ) because there is a lot more of this on it’s way!
