This art journal page is very simplistic, I think that's what I'm needing in my life right now! I took a picture of a woman's face from a magazine(beautiful black model with her eyes open), collaged it over my background and painted over her to have her resemble me! I've been working on skin tones, so I'm glad to have the practice. She (I) turned out wrinkly due to the fact I didn't let the glue dry from the magazine. Then I think, well maybe that's me retired on the beaches of Maui. :0)
A few wrinkles does not diminish the beauty one bit.

This is really beautiful. I don't see any wrinkles but as one who knows, a few wrinkles are ok. Thank you for sharing.
