I took my newly found media discovery, the experimentation & playing with paper, and decided to use it as an art form.  I wanted to do the thing that I like the most, and "make something from nothing."  I appreciate the challenge of taking something non descript, and making it beautiful.  I took an older existing sketch, an abstracted view from my studio window which I had tried to paint.  Painting it was a disaster, and the piece was quickly set aside, as I didn't like the way the clayboard base took the paint.  The composition was still good, so I decided to recreate it in paper.

This is the unfinished painting.

This is how I translated it into paper.  It became cleaner, and working with the paper gave me the crisp lines and angles that I couldn't achieve with the watercolor image above.
