Do you sometimes wonder what is real and what isn’t? I do.
Life can be quite surreal at times, and you need to pinch yourself quite
hard. Yesterday, I was on my daily walk
in a local nature reserve, I sat down on a tree stump, closed my eyes to the
glare of the sun, and when I opened them I was surrounded by lots of
dragonflies flitting around. Their iridescent wings were awesome. Then, I
wondered am I really seeing these, is it a trick of the light? I think they were real, but when I shook my
head they had all gone. Was it a figment
of my imagination? I suppose I will never
know, all I can say it seemed real!
The above journal page is my 4th Face for
the 29 Faces in February at Ayala’s blog. Button in sidebar.
I have used watercolour paints on paper textured with gesso. I created
the texture by dragging string, combs and making marks with the top of a
brush. The small wring was from a couple
of handwriting stamps. The quote I added
in Photoshop.
