Ok now I'm just having too much fun
My husband drew a picture for me to paint and this is the resulting work of art. I don't have a name for it, or know what it means.
But who cares? I got to get paint on my face and feel all artist-y.
I haven't been doing a lot of reading lately so it wasn't a big sacrifice when the Artist's Way put a weeklong ban on reading. I thought I wasn't going to be strict about it since I wasn't reading any way but I have found that I've been very resistant to breaking "the ban" even when I've had a lot of time on my hands.
Instead I've been creating things. Not anything big or important but I feel like I'm building up some muscles I haven't used for 20 years. Kids like to draw, paint, sing and dance because that stuff is fun. So why do we stop doing it when we grow up? I have decided that I will allow myself to do fun stuff, even when I don't know the "rules."
Don't you want to do that too? What's stopping you? If you are doing it, I want to hear about it. If you're not... why?

There are no rules to art - you can't do it wrong. Isn't that great?! Hugs
