sketchbook project

Started out with a bit of paint & collage...

I wanted to do a portrait on the right side of the page, and i don't know how it happened,

but here's what i did... 

Smack dab in the middle.
Or at least more in the middle than i wanted it to be.

I guess i misjudged the "right side of the page".

Then I started getting excited with the browns & before i knew it,

i had hidden most of the words on the page. :-( 

You can see a few words peeking out here & there

but this wasn't really what i had in mind.

Sometimes, things don't always work out the way

we envision them. :-)

This is Sylvia Plath. 

She was an American poet & writer,

and the mother of two children.

After years of struggling with depression,

and a breakup with her husband,

at the age of 31, she committed suicide.

She died in 1963 - the year I was born.

I think her writing is beautiful

and her life very sad.

Wishing you all a great weekend!

I know i'm happy it's Friday.
