| The page above reads just let go, sometimes the fear of the unknown or the fear of failure stop me from being who I really want to be. It keeps me from getting myself out there from showing who I am and what I do. But its time to let go of the negative thoughts, the you can't do it's and the your not good enoughs. Time to let go time to be free. What I used Gesso, watercolors, pastels and sharpie. |
