Journey Within

12” x 12” mixed media on canvas

Self discovery, finding yourself, becoming your true self, it all starts from within. It’s a journey I’ve finally embraced, I am well on my way, with much more to explore!

The mixed media used in this painting is mostly acrylic, some alcohol ink and pouring medium. It was a big ole mess at one point, then I used my wide tooth comb to move things around a bit, creating the texture and grooves that I love so much!

So many times have I found myself disappointed with a painting. I used to get frustrated and discouraged, sometimes throwing the whole canvas right in the trash. But I discovered that some of my favorite completed paintings were once disappointments, never give up on them! Put them away for a while, revisit and revamp, work with the parts you don’t like, and you might be surprised.
