Playing in my Studio...

For the first time in weeks, I painted in my studio today. I realized that this was the first prolonged break from painting where I didn't worry I would not remember how to make art.

I am learning that these breaks are necessary to keep the creativity flowing in all aspects of my life. It's becoming like breathing in and out for me, all part of one breath - absorbing the beauty around me for a while and then expressing it in my life with renewed energy.

Our recent camping trip certainly allowed me to absorb all the creativity around me to the fullest. To me there is nothing more creative than Mother Nature!

And now I foresee several fun weeks of painting, drawing, cooking, knitting, crocheting and whatever else I feel inspired to do before needing time to be still and absorb again.

Breathing in ... breathing out ...
