Glow Worm

"We are all worms, but I do believe that I am a glow worm." -Winston ChurchillA dear friend from dinner club had asked me to do this quote for her a year and half ago (6/2008). She was patient and never bugged me about it. I didn't have a deadline, so it wasn't a priority. *The artists out there know what I'm talking about.

All my ideas didn't seem right. I never felt ready to execute the final. Then one day, in a paste paper workshop (12/2009), I created this piece. I thought to myself, "This is it! This the glow worm poem."

I finally felt as if I had the right paper, the right colors, the right everything. Once I was ready to put the pen to the paper ... the ink repelled. No matter how much Blair spay fix I used, (the paper was saturated) ... the gouache repelled. I went over and over it - and over again. Patiently let it dry. The gouache seemed to finally stay in place. Much rejoicing!

This is the final photo. Paste Paper. Lettered in gouache. Pointed pen variation and Foundational variation.
