Goal: To create one piece of art each day for 365 consecutive days

While chatting with another artist this weekend, she mentioned that sometimes the most difficult part of creating art is knowing when to stop. She felt strongly that it was very important to keep things simple and not overdo work. There is a lot to be said for such a comment.

Her voice must have been resonating in my subconscious as I created yesterday’s piece. While the abstracted leaf is intricate and busy with lines,  I kept a large amount of negative space. I’m happy with the results as the the image seems to be emphasized because of it.
