Thank you. This was truly a “game changer” for me. I appreciate your warmth, authenticity, and insight!
I am so glad, Nancy!! Here’s to getting to our art! ((bighugs))
Thank you so much for all your info Jamie. I am truly struggling to do my art every day. I am at 24 seven caregiver for my son who has heart failure. So much to do, but so far I’ve been able to do a little something every day sitting on my couch with all the necessary art supplies around me. It’s a mess but it works for me. Thank you for all your good thoughts and teachings! Love and peace
Jamie,
It is always such a delight to catch up with you with The BTS.
About 10 years ago, I started creating a doodle from my word of the day which highlights and honors my experience to remember it by; I started first with just black pen. Then I added watercolor markers and ink pens and really started to have fun with design and color. In the last few months, I have learned how to draw cartoon like figures and I have added one I do of myself to each evening word doodle. I am having such a blast with drawing each days wardrobe on my cartoon and illustrating my activity to create even deeper meaning to what my daily life experience has been.
I also occasionally paint with watercolor.
I have an in home office where I do all record keeping for our electrical contracting business in the daytime, so that’s my job.
I so appreciate your tips and I totally get making space in between or with other activities. It’s an in genius way to make time with the time you already have.
Creativity is ESSENTIAL. And I am grateful for it.
Thanks for being such a source of encouragement and delightful ideas. Here’s to making time to identify with and enjoy ourselves as artists.
