Pattie Knox asked us to first determine a theme but try as I may, I just couldn't think of one. In the end, I started working with the background by using bits and pieces of the class materials provided and then from out of left field there was the theme. I didn't pick it; it picked itself. Those of you who have been doing art journaling for some time probably have had this happen to you also. You see, as I was working on the collage, I kept thinking of my brother who died at the age of 62. His death was so sudden, so unexpected so heart wrenching. You can see that the quote is quite fitting.
