I’ve been working with my friend Jami Y. for the past several weeks to create vision boards for different areas of my life. She is guiding me through a variety of different techniques while encouraging me to experiment with my own creativity. Yesterday after setting some intentions while participating in Jamie Ridler’s Wishcasting Wednesday I…

BIG Painting, BIG Art Journaling
Last week I told myself I would finish my taxes on Monday. But, after last week’s artist date I wanted another one. I thought about it all weekend and instead of doing my taxes I spent the day painting. The whole idea of BIG painting first came about when I watched the video “Raghava KK:…
More Art Journaling
I am beginning to enjoy the process of art journaling. I no longer worry of I am doing it right. I just let myself create. I am finding I lose myself in the process and feel a sense of release and calm when I am done. So, here are a few pictures from my art…
Art Journaling

Lately I have been very distracted – I am in love. But, not in any person. I am in love with several new interests. These new loves invade my thoughts and wrap themselves in and around every idea I have. I see them everywhere and imagine what it would be like for them to come…
A Call to Paint
I first had the call to paint last Fall. I indulged my desire and bought a beginner set of bright acrylic paints and a plain wooden box. I sat outside all day, enjoying the coolness of the shade and primed and painted for hours. I painted on paper, on pieces of plywood and, of course,…
