My word for 2013 is cultivate which means to apply oneself to improving or developing. One of the places I can cultivate is right here on this blog of mine. These are some of the art that I have been creating in my journals.
I was thinking of my sister, Bonnie, who loves butterflies.
Needless to say, creatively I have been feeling like I'm in the ebb, again. I know it's natural to go there but it doesn't make it anymore comfortable.
On Wednesday, 1/16/13, I went to take care of my sister. She was being released from the hospital and I wanted to be there to help with her recovery. After a few days, she encouraged me to paint something for her. Which I did by standing at her kitchen counter and talking with her. These are the paintings I created.
Both of them were done with water color. A medium I had little experience with. Words are needed to complete them. So maybe I'll show them again later when they are done.
Here's the greatest piece of all. One night I coaxed Bonnie into creating a piece of art. At first she was hesitant because she is not able to control her dominant hand. So this background was created by her painting with her left hand. It is truly a masterpiece!
