Just Show UP

October 7, 2020

So…. I am committing right here in front of you all…” To just show up” and do my art practice DAILY… I am not picking how long, or how much , just “ I will do this daily” Todays picture started with a picture in a magazine… sometimes your imagination is on hold, so I am taking what i can from observation. I loved this picture and tried to add some of my creative touches from it… or maybe it is calling me to get busy and pick my own apple trees before they are on the ground. I had a great day yesterday with my Granddaughter Maeve in the apple trees, I saved all the apples on the low branches for her, she’s only 3 but got the “ twist and pull” method down.

Whatever your creative spirit inside of you says. Write it, make it, create it, garden it… Just do it … now I will have to post more just to show you that I am making this a DAILY PRACTICE

Painting over a painting

working with sgraffito

 

There is nothing like an experiment, it takes the pressure off coming up with a finished picture.  

You can see the sgraffito here, the lines in the paint, between the flowers as well as the stems on the small plants in the foreground.

A good start, I don't feel like it is complete yet,  I might have to set on it awhile
