Misty morning here today...beautiful! I have been admiring the lovely greens that are dotted all over the landscape at the moment, it's so fresh and bright.  I spent most of my morning in the studio yesterday just thinking. Reading and listening to all these inspiring people from the world summit are building up the bubbles inside me and I needed time to reflect on it all.  This morning I'm listening to Danielle LePorta  from whitehottruth.com . A few days ago I signed up to her website and downloaded questions to ask your friends about who they think you are, it is a good thing to do! I asked a person who has been a friend of mine and like a sister and I did the same for her.  I have been wanting to write about Creative Everyday Month which is coming up in November and today Leah is one of the speakers in the summit.  I signed up  to the challenge last year and it got me back into blogging, I wrote about creativity everyday. I'm thinking this year I might draw usi
Starting my day off with a laugh - here is Vin Diesel on helium... I can't believe people think he is GAY , come on! For those of you that don't know the Fakes and Forgeries Festival in Mangaweka is coming up in a few weeks. I have been plodding away at a painting which I hope will make it there in time here is a sneak peek... This exhibition/competition is a fun event, open to ANY scurrilous novice or professional artist who have longed for the excuse to copy a favourite piece of art. Works can be identical replicas, copies “with a twist”, or “inspired-by” a previous (preferably well known) artist and/or painting/art work. Click here for the entry form and rules. Whoops, I just read the rules and this painting won't be in the festival - it's too big! I've been listening to Chris Zydel this morning, from  creativejuicesarts.com , she is so lovely! I found this interesting clip of a student of hers... Art & Fear  is on it's way to my pile of books

Blogging again!

I had this strong urge to start blogging today, so here I am again sharing the things I come across. My hubby asked me last night how I find all this stuff 'cause he never comes across it, he's just not that interested in what I'm fascinated by! I'm interested in art, people, life and finding my perfect philosophy ! This morning didn't start off the best. As I sat wondering why I felt so glum, I reached for this book that I had picked up a month ago, I don't know how it got to be in arms length, but I'm pretty glad it was there. I opened it up and read this... Marriage is a good idea. But if you are looking for someone that can be everything, you’ll be disappointed! When you marry someone you take on their weaknesses as well as their strengths. It’s a package deal. By expecting perfection, you’re asking for more than either of you are capable of giving. However, when you get into trouble you can count on your partner. Marriage is having someone to curl u
