Touchstones

There is an exercise in Julie Cameron's book "The Artist's Way" that asks one to write their touchstones.  At first I wanted it to be those big things that change the course of the entire world.  Turns out there is nothing like that.  Small things, beautiful things, fun things; those are my touch stones.  Another page in my idea book (well just the other side of the same one with flowers really) and I'm all set for week 2 of AEDM.

Being spelling challenged can lead to unexpected creativity...BELIEVE IT!

Flowers

I have an idea book and it's where I scribble everything I come up with.  I recently added a few watercolour pages to it in an attempt to force my visual art creativity.  This was the first attempt.  I used acrylic in watercolour technique and although I'm still working on my washes, I think the final product was alright...for a quick study.
