what I've been up to

Since my last post I have been very busy.  I have been keeping regular posts on my facebook fan page.  You can go there to "LIKE" my page and see my regular posts.  I joined The Documented Life 2015  to provide me with weekly inspirations and help me move further from my comfort zone.  Each Saturday they post the Art Challenge and Jorunal Entry for the upcoming week.  You take it from there.   Here are my first 2 entries into my journal.

                        

People often say to me that they wished they could create art.  We all the capability and if you truly want to create art then JUST BEGIN.  This program is free.  You choose whether or not to include yourself on the favebook group, etc.  If you have any questions about The Documented Life Project 2015 just let me know and I will try to answer for you.

I bought some new chalk pastels.  I sat down one day and drew this young lady.  She looks so prim and proper.

I have taken several days to clean my studio.  Getting rid of things that no longer serve me.  I feel this incredible shift happening and one day it will come to the surface.  In the meantime, I am just following my intuition as much as I can.  It's scary yet exciting all rolled into one.

Last night I went with an artist friend, Laura, to the Zhou B Art Center in Chicago.  Lots and lots of art to behold.  At first I thought I would feel intimidated but surprisingly, I wasn't.  In fact, I left there with a sense of knowing that I am on the right track.  Between the art that left me spellbound & inspired, the aroma of incense from Peru, and a friend to share it with I had a great night.  

I feel things stirring within.  I'll tell you more about these on a later date.

Thanks for your support & encouragement as I travel my creative path.
