Practice.

Read an entry on nancycrawford.com. Sometimes I hesitate to begin because my inner critic is in full sail. Today I listened to James Patterson book to mute her. This may or may not be finished. Made with encaustic its support. Gold leaf and gold powder. Sunflower leaf print on rice paper and r&f encaustic paint.

I am not a professional painter or poet but I do dabble. 

Because I love colors and painting and poetry. to me they represent the best of us. 

Love the Nancy Crawford videos! I would love to take a class with her if our paths ever cross.
