New Project

Dear Friends,

God bless you and your loved ones.

Have you ever gotten excited about a new project?

The Art Center in Battle Creek is hosting an annual art show called "Michigan Artists' Competition" and the theme for this year is "Earth, Air, Water and Fire."  There is an image in my mind's eye of Mother Nature holding the earth in her arms and the title is, "Honor Your Mother."  I bought the canvas today and some new brushes so that I can get started tomorrow.

Of course I still have 50  or so other paintings that are partly finished, but that is okay, because this is my mode of operation.  I work on a lot of paintings at the same time.  I do finish them eventually, but I am not like some people who start one thing and finish it before starting another.  I envy people like that, but I don't think I could do that even if I decided to make it into a serious goal.

Of course I'm not going to set a crazy goal like that.  The inner child is the part of a person that creates.  My inner child is super random and not very organized, but somehow things do get finished.  I'm not sure how, but it doesn't really matter how as long as I continue to finish my projects in my own zigzag timing.

I love being free to be myself with my art and not have to live according to someone else's rules.

I hope that you get to experience this kind of creative freedom in some area of your life.

Love, Sue
