Collage on watercolor paper


What is it I like about this collage? I made it on watercolor paper, following the blog Simply Artistic Pleasures; I used masking, spray paint, calligraphy pens, painted gesso, printing tools. It looks kind of messy and happy. Maybe I like it because there are no mistakes.

Lately I've been overwhelmed by how much I don't know about art -- theory, history, technique. I am reading too much about the high-stakes multi-national art scene. How ridiculous to let that craziness infest my thinking.

Finally I realize the obvious: make lots of art, learn along the way, and enjoy every moment. That's why I like this collage.
