Texas Jack

Texas Jack was the subject of one of my journal pages this month.   If you aren't familiar with this member of the Cowboy Hall of Fame, there is an excellent website devoted to his memory.  You can access his biography on the site by clicking here.   Frontier scout, actor and close friend of Buffalo Bill, Texas Jack was one of the good guys in America's Old West.

Different and Alike

Facing pages in one of my art journals..... or should I say "face-off pages"?    

The prompt was "altered faces" and this duo began with that intent, but evolved into a statement about our differences and similarities.  

We are drawn to each other because of our similarities but it is our differences we must learn to respect.

Fear

Pages from my visual journal.   Some thoughts about fear.
The right page incorporates painted paper woven into the page.  Left over pieces became the horizontal bands on the facing page.
