The Wild Journey

The power of art making, collage layering and journaling moves me once again. As it often happens this page was an accident. I had left over blue acrylic paint on my pallet, so I painted this page. I had the impulse to make hand prints in the paint, so I did. I later added a torn paper border and used soft gel medium to preserve the hand prints (I just dabbed the medium onto the white created by my hands). I added rub-on stickers I happened to pick up at Big Lots. A travel theme. The statement "Born to Explore the road less traveled, the wild Journey of a lifetime, far away from home" happened, seemly, by accident as well. But when I read it I recognized my life as a wanderer and artist. Tears were shed.
Somehow, being "born to" explore and journey gives me a warm feeling. One can embrace one's destiny, once realized, as opposed to feeling anxious about not living a "normal" life (whatever that is). I like that the right hand (connected to the left, logical hemisphere) has the compass that is labeled in a familiar way. The left hand (connected to the right, intuitive hemisphere) has an unlabeled compass--since the right brain connects to symbols, not words.
