What A Week!

Lots of action this week, not only with the Olympics in Pyeongchang, Korea (27 medals for Canada) ...but on my creative journey. First, I completed a seven day Drawing Drills challenge and for this I decided to force myself outdoors and to sketch in public everyday for a week! Yeah I did it!

Secondly, I decided to start working with acrylics again, completed a 16" x 20" piece that I "SOLD" this morning....OMG! How lucky do I feel. I feel like I am surrounded by "abundance". I can now purchase more canvases...yeah for me!

"Spring Birches" - 16"x20" acrylic

My "28 Days of Love" series...will have to wait until tomorrow....

Until next time....happy creating

This challenge can be extremely difficult. First, one runs out of fresh ideas! Secondly, not every piece is a success. It's very hard to let go of that perfectionism part of creating especially if you are a Virgo!

The last three were not my favourites...but I do like these ones.

Working Like Crazy

Life in Ottawa is cold and snowy, so I am spending a lot of time creating. Here is a large format acrylic painting plus my 28 Days of Love pieces. Life can be crazy even on the creative side!

28 Days of Love

During these 28 days I will be learning a lot about colour combinations. What works and what doesn't.

Ground Hog Day!

Oh my, according to the local ground hog....we have six more weeks of winter! Baby it's cold out there today - 30!

Well I just have to entertain myself with more art!

I have a new idea and I'm calling it "28 Days of Love". This project is mixed media done over the course of 28 days...in February and the size is "11" x 7" on Strathmore Bristol 100 lb. paper. The only requirement is that every page has at least one heart...somewhere.

I hope that working in this series "28 Days of Love" will challenge me creativity. I am still thinking about the best way to show....weekly? Maybe?

Until next time....happy creating
