Art Journal Page

It feels very strange to be sharing this page because I really don't like it.

I didn't really have a plan, and it seemed like everything I did made it worse, or at least didn't improve anything. I finally gave up and decided to leave it. I thought about gessoing over it, but couldn't really be bothered. I was just completely tired of the page. The only parts I like are the background and the drippy bits (which looked much better before I tried to make the top of the page look like storm clouds).

I was playing around with some little kid stencils I found.

I didn't like the flowers so I thought they might fade into the background if I ran drips over them.

The drips made me think rain so I tried to make the top look like clouds

I added this, hoping it would finish the page and make it look like there was a point to all this mess. It didn't really work.. It looks black in the photo, but it's actually matted on dark purple. I originally tried it without the matting, but it just faded into the background. I think it looks off to be because of the scale- the flowers are as tall as the man.

Oh well. At least I got a page done. I've been feeling rather uninspired and non-creative this week. I think I'll give it a rest for a few days and see what happens next week.
