When I looked at the calendar and noticed that May Day was going to be this past weekend, I couldn’t help but start singing Jonathan Coulton’s “First of May”.  If you are unfamiliar, it is a delightfully naughty song about outdoor lovemaking starting because of the warmer weather.  The lyrics are NSFW or kids, but I love this song anyway.  You can check him out at http://www.jonathancoulton.com.

There are a lot of layers in this week’s art journal entry.  It was going well but when it was “finished” I wasn’t quite satisfied.  I was going to stop at the Satyr and the Nymphs, but then read a blog post by Barb The Craft Junkie.  On her Craft Therapy blog, she posted Sarah Whitmore’s Rules for Making Art.  Rule 9 leaped out at me:

9. Don’t ever fall in-love with one part of a piece and “baby” it. A great teacher once told me, if you find yourself falling in love with one corner…paint over it until it is the same as the rest.

So that’s exactly what I did and added two more layers.  :)
