Trail of Roses

I finished the drawing portion of this project. After completing 80 drawings of roses I decided that my goals had been met. I made tremendous progress in this period and learned to see much more clearly as a result. I will publish the rest of the drawings in later posts. In addition I spent some time journaling. I had the idea to make letters for the project from the journal pages. I used the journaled words to provide the texture and value for the letters of the title as you see it above. Each page is actually about 15 pages of journaling written over and over itself and erased as needed.
