Looking back and feeling fine!

Awesome Artwork Collage

You can create a photo collage of your artwork at PicMonkey.

Five of these paintings have sold already!

I want to thank Leslie Saeta for creating this 30 day painting challenge. Also, her radio blog show called "Artists Helping Artists" has been a major influence. Without outside forces on our life, what would we become? Challenges help us to find our inner strength which comes from our Creator. He is the Creative Genius behind our spirits. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

Are you up to the challenge of finding your creative spirit which may be buried. I want to help guide you through "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron in the next couple of months. So, join me and others as we find our creativity and grow stronger!

Day 29 of 30 Day Painting Challenge

Okay, next to last day to post and my horse feels a bit childish, but free-spirited. I am working on "The Artist's Way: a spiritual path to higher creativity" by Julia Cameron and invite you to join me through my blog. If you think you could never be creative, then you may need this course more than you think. I want to encourage more people to get outside their self-contained limitations and find their creative self. 

There is no charge for this class and you will come away feeling more energized and ready to try new things.

This 30 day painting challenge has taught me so many lessons. Crystal Cook really made it clear through her blog. Not every painting can be a masterpiece (like this one shows).

You often will feel pressured and drained unless you make time for your creative artist self.

Family time still needs to be more important than posting a painting everyday.

It's about the journey, not the destination!

I do plan on doing more regular paintings, but I'd really like to spend my weekends doing one large one rather than the small ones I sweated over. I also prefer loose paintings, so tomorrow's post will surprise you for sure!
