Sea Echoes Collector Series: v1.7 "Carmel-by-the-Sea Is Calling Me And I Must Go..."

A small look into a day at the beach, the seventh installment of Jocelyn's Sea Echoes series evokes a sense of hope and possibilities. This artwork aims to inspire the viewer to embrace their creativity and follow their dreams and heart. Jocelyn's "must-have" beach retreat companions are The Artist's Way and The Artist's Way Morning Pages Journal by Julia Cameron. The following words (among many) from The Artist's Way gives Jocelyn the gift of confidence and to be brave to find her True North, answer and go where Life is calling:

"Artists are visionaries. We routinely practice a form of faith, seeing clearly and moving toward a creative goal that shimmers in the distance - often visible to us, but invisible to those around us, but invisible to those around us. Difficult as it is to remember, it is our work that creates the market, not the market that creates our work. Art is an act of faith, and we practice practicing it. Sometimes we are called on pilgrimages on its behalf and, like many pilgrims, we doubt the call even as we answer it. But answer we do." - Julia Cameron

Materials used in the original artwork include: 
Encaustic medium (a blend of clear beeswax and damar resin), encaustic paints, oil sticks, rocks, sand and sea shells from Carmel-by-the-Sea and India ink.
