my wings.

i am taking an online ecourse called create your living canvas by christy tomlinson. it is about finding yourself and what matters most to you and how to make it all mesh together. so far i am loving the exercises and it really does make you think about things in a different perspective. i'm working in a composition notebook where i art in the first half and journal in the second half. i like it to be separate but together and this inexpensive way works great for me. this little sweetie (yes that's my baby picture) is a part of my journal cover. i just knew it would inspire you to do something wonderful with your photos! happy creating...

wild art blog hop.

want a little inspiration for your art? how about diverse creativity, endless color choices and a host of styles to admire? well, if any of those sound interesting, you are going to love today's blog hop full of artists of all mediums. you will see some great art shared today by our experience in christy tomlinson and junelle jacobsen's art of wild abandonment sketching class. not only did junelle make it fun and easy (radishes and other produce from the grocery store) but the art that was created by everyone was just inspiring and bursting with creativity. i am proud to be a part of this group and am sharing this "peashirt party" inspired by my shopping trip to the market.

this feather was found in my backyard and knew it needed to be examined further and turned into a piece of art. exploring water soluble crayons was new to me and i just loved their fast and easy application. the tag will have the word "found" added eventually but for now, thank you junelle for the lovely addition of the sentiment!

if you are doing the blog hop you should have just visited the talented "margaret stewart". if you would like to start at the beginning, visit the blog of "claire smillie". from here you should go to the lovely "camilla olsson" art and proceed from there to the next artists site.

enjoy the hop and i hope it makes you want to approach your next art project with wild abandonment, unabashed creativity and unlimited possibilities!

hello sunshine.

get ready to join me in a wild abandonment blog hop tomorrow, you won't want to miss the art or adventures of the more than 50 participants. hope to see you there :D
