what not wednesday -inspiration from Yelena James
An artist that I love is Yelena James. Check out these samples of her work. I love that they’re sort of abstract, but also somewhat organic, floral, serene, under-the-sea.
I felt so completely inspired to just make art for the sake of doing it, not worrying about what the end result would be, etc. and it was actually very meditative and relaxing, and so here is my own little version, I probably should be embarrassed to post my painting after such a talented artist, but then since it was my “therapy” and I enjoyed the process, then who cares. I actually don’t think it came out too bad considering I used a sharpie, a piece of scrap paper and a few really old paint tubes.
OK, so maybe i need some more practice…
