I don’t have to go far back at all for this month’s Thankful Thursday Artist.  I’m just finishing off the series I worked on during Cat Rains’ Collage Joy on-line course – some final finishing to do, and some good advice to follow as I decide how to mount.

So many things kept me moving through this course when so many others I have signed up for are still waiting. . .

I really appreciated the combination of making papers and making pieces.  I really appreciated the “color palette first”  approach – color is almost always my spark – and the focus and coherence that comes from finishing the palette.

I’ll take titles more seriously and keep a notebook of marks.  I’ll make small studies.  I’ll think more about warm and cool.

At least I hope I will!
