I started out drenching my art journal in somber black paint. I intended it to have a fatalistic tone. The imagery was mostly of fire, dangerous blazes against a dark background. As the book progressed, water imagery began to douse the fire. The orange blazes faded into velvety red against purple and gray; then the grays melted into liquid silver. Aquatic creatures began to swim through the pages. They dove under water for a while. Submerged in this new element, it looked like they were going to drown, but then they unexpectedly came up for air. They started to swim toward the beach. As you can see, they made a safe landing.
