I started this journal pamphlet tonite. Can you see the folds? I created the cover with acrylics and graphite, and Inktense. It is made on hot press paper. I don't really care for hot press unless I am doing collages, the paper is very smooooth. Anywho,,,, I was going to post one of my favorite paintings but, my creative spirit went in another direction. That happens a lot. I hate rules, I dislike guidelines, I sort of fly by the seat of my pants when it comes to being creative!The girl in my painting feels trapped. She is actually very sad, although she looks bewildered. She never lets anyone know when she is sad. She is being held by love trees, and only then she realizes that reading all of self help books in the world can't help her state of mind.

Hey all you gals out there ....
Let's all get together ... throw all of our books in a bonfire, sip some fine wine, stumble around, pee our pants, sleep in late, go out for breakfast and play with all of our art stuff all day. THEN ... the 10 sexiest men in the world, from People Magazine, will come take us all to dinner!
I'm not sad any more.

Ain't that the truth...about the self-help books I mean! Great piece, Tara!
That is so true! Help books. I read so many, my god! My mind is full of information years reading books and books. I threw them all away. Enough of those. My self help book is my art and nature. I have all the answers I need just by doing art, yip!
