When I was a kid, I took playing and pretending very seriously. I wasn’t competitive, I just liked following the rules. I liked constructing and then committing to imaginary scenarios. Make believe. I’d make up something to believe in. I wonder if I’ve changed.
I tried a new technique with the layers. Instead of one layer of color, I used three and then altered them to have different levels of transparency.
I spelled “committing” wrong. I suppose I also like to make up my own spelling.

When I was a kid, my friends and I would take playing and pretending very seriously. It wasn’t that we were competitive; we just liked trying out different types of rules. We would construct and then commit to our imagined logic. Make believe. We’d make up something to believe in.
I wonder if we’ve changed.

I think that your artwork is awesome as always!
Lovely artwork, Lorna. I’m currently trying to get to grips with layering and transparency, so I’ll be back here often to see what I can learn. Thank you for your beautiful art and thanks too for following me…
It’s funny that they’re called “cartwheels” when probably “wheel” would have sufficed, since it’s a human spinning like a wheel. So why specifically the wheel of a cart? Maybe carts were the first thing people put wheels on when they first invented wheels.
