THE SKETCHES, ART JOURNAL PAGES AND MEDITATIONS OF VICTORIA MARKS

Warm and Fuzzy
You know you're a real nerdy artist-type when just looking at photos of someone else's used tubes of paint makes you feel all warm and happy inside. Getting a sweet rush of excitement without even being in a studio (anyone's studio), smelling the tools of the trade (any tools: paints, palettes, canvas, stinky pens, you name it), or even looking at art (anyone's art) means you're too far gone for help of any kind so just accept it and enjoy the uber-joy you feel. Lose yourself in the moment.
Artist, writer, hippie girl, earth mother, nearly nonstop talker and generally exhausted insomniac. If I'm not painting or drawing, I'm writing, often well into the wee hours of the morning.
I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create. Vincent Van Gogh
