I didnt even realize there was a printed copy too. I love abstracts because I have never been able to draw anything specific, so abstracts dont require the ability to draw a face, or dog or whatever. I love Jodi Ohl and would love to win her book.

When I get all tightened up painting, I just remember, "If you can't take a leap of faith with a silly piece of paper, then where are you going to go in your life?"

As for being playful enough...hmm..that's a hard one, usually abstracts come to me on those days where I have no purpose and I find it cathartic to just play with shapes and colors.

She was extremely picky about our behavior, our dress, housekeeping, everything. As a result, I became a detail person, a perfectionist. Since retiring from 30 years as a teacher/school librarian I have been trying to let go of that control issue and try new things. I love paper arts, bookmaking, gelli printing, art journaling, card exchanges, etc. and would be thrilled to own Jodi's new book so I could try lots of new techniques, styles, and projects.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637402858466893915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13711813.post-77723618456796025342017-04-10T08:06:58.262-05:002017-04-10T08:06:58.262-05:00Abstracts are hard for me.
