Just over halfway through this journey and feel proud of myself for sticking to it even when the face that I will have to post for the day isn't exactly what I thought it should turn out like. Thing is maybe it turns out exactly that way it should turn out to be ... the subconscious is very willful and strong. I have long ago learned to trust my inner wisdom so with that being said, here's the story for day #19.
After a very full day of family and friends, I still felt compelled to try and finish a face that I had sketched a day or so ago. My intention was for it to be a mime-type face, all whitish with a rather soulful look with a few tears dropping on his cheek. Well that good ole subconscious took over and the result is what I call my "Inner Warrior - Cancer Sucks" face. You see I had yet another conversation with someone who has a loved one fighting cancer. Having had my own fight with this horrible disease, I know how hard and lonely that road can be. I'm sure those thoughts were running through my head when I created face #19.

Closing thoughts ... I am glad that I have taken the time to chronicle my journey through the 29 Faces of May. I've put it out there for the entire world to see and if nobody cares to look, I'm okay with it. My growth and inspiration as an artist have grown leaps and bounds. Fears I once had are ebbing. I've been brave enough to post images that I wanted to throw away. I will always love being creative if for no one else but myself.
Thanks!
