I swear there is nothing that gives an artist greater joy than a blank canvas. The possibilities are endless for creation to run free and imagination to take over. It may seem insignificant, but it has the greatest potential. That's what makes it so magical; but, it is also what makes it the greatest challenge.
I see the canvas staring back at me, mocking me. If it could speak, I imagine it would say, "Come on, Karyn. Let's see how badly you can mess me up." Ooooh the challenge is right there, in my hand, on the end of a wooden stick with hog bristles and oil paste. I think to myself, "Fine. I'm up for the challenge. Let us just see how badly I can mess you up." And then... it's go time.
