Welcome March 2015!

Today we find ourselves snowed in a bit, and enjoying the comforts of home. Where are you at on this day? Are surfing the internet for new blogs, and pinterest pins? That's what I do on day's like this. We have it pretty laid back today. The boys had fun running around the house in shorts and no shirts or shoes this morning...10 inches or more of snow...that's my boys. They love to have fun and go on adventures.

I have been doodling on index cards recently, and thought they turned out cute. This one was done with a Gelly Roll pen. My husband and I are doing a study right now and having to write down our verses to memorize. Sometimes I can get carried away with it. :D

My art table is always a mess! How about yours? What are your favorite tips on keeping organized. Well honestly, I am just not organized in there at all. I know where everything is, but it drives me nuts that I can be so disorganized. I guess it's what I call an organized mess. (insert a giggle here) :D Anywho, I have been journaling here and there and even made my own stencils out of heavy watercolor paper. I have on my site some supplies that I love! Hope you check it out. Going to leave you with a picture that I painted for a fund raiser. May you be blessed and know that God loves you greatly. Will be posting a video soon, and just a reminder my Hobby Lobby Mixed Media Class is scheduled for March 14th, 2015 in Clarksville, same time.

Thoughts on Creative Practicing...

I have been teaching painting classes for several years now. I started with oils then moved into acrylics. Dorothy Dent is an artist from Missouri who paints country scenes on wood and saw blades of all shapes and sizes. As I would purchase her books with her patterns and replicate different pattern designs onto different objects, it didn't seem to bother me that I was "copying" her work. I mean after all I did purchase her permission, so to speak, right? So I think for me, I support Creative Practicing by Danielle Donaldson, is an EYE opening thought, idea, and wake up call for this artist. I was always bothered by the thought, of copying others work...but isn't that the way we learn? We learn by doing, and repeating, and studying material that others have gone on to conquer before us. It's adding our touch, our sense of color, light and dark, our personality, our, spirit, our soul, our vision to a piece of work, that maybe another person, before us created. I have been teaching what I call "Master Studies for Kids," for several years now. We read about the artist, and get to know him, then admire his work, and technique, then reproduce it somehow, in our own way. I have loved doing this with the kids. So very thankful for the article written by Danielle Donaldson...you too, can read it for yourself on her blog...www.danielledonaldson.com/creativepracticing.
