A beautiful first week of the year
New years eve has come and gone, and the New Year has started - a beautiful and creative 2009 to everyone!
So far, on the agenda, is alot of clearing. Basically cleaning and getting rid of the things that just don't fit the person I've grown into now. Old negative objects that only hold bad memories that hold me down, or colors that don't jive with what makes me zing. In my attempt to clean my art room I have found 12 projects half finished or just ideas on paper. At this rate I'll have enough to keep me busy clear into next year :) Always good to have a variety or projects to fall back on when I need a break from a tough part, or a change in creative focus.
On friday I was asked by a Rotery Club to speak for 30 minutes about the ornament and the guild I'm in. I'm nervous but really excited. This is such a great opportunity, not to mention really good practice for future public speaking. I've spoken to alot of the people involved with the guild and the gallery I'm in for ideas - 30 minutes is a long time - but it will go by quickly.
I am gathering together an Artist Way group and have 12 positive responses! I'm soo excited. I think this will be a terrific group, and positive for everyone that participates - me included. It's wonderful to be able to share ideas, and experiences with others on a similar path. I don't expect it to be a cake walk - the artist way can dig up some pretty wild emotions and experiences from the past. At the end of the course though there is such liberation and freedom over fears and anxieties - not to mention past monsters that plagued our dreams. It's worth the ride, and for my situation, a total revisit!
A great year, a wonderful beginning. Now to get some artwork done!!
