Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
What do trees mean to you?
Are they sentinels of nature or something to provide shade? What is the creative inspiration that can be obtained from trees?

When I think of what is the deepest source of things for me I always come back to water. I love looking out at the ocean and over other large bodies of water. I love looking at lakes and rivers from the air. I love the color of water. I tried to create one of those water statues to represent my source.
Summary: new creative prompt for the week.
The word of the day the other day was ‘withdrawal’, which really spoke about going to a space where you can rejuvenate yourself. This reading made me think of a source of creativity and where that comes from. What is your source of creativity? How often do you draw on the source?

Ok, girls and boys and I am finally caught up with all of the prompts and I have an idea for an upcoming prompt! Is it fair for me to do prompts ahead of time? Hhmm.. I think that if it gets done, it is all good.
There is an interesting contrast between white space and color in this drawing. I am wondering if the door needs some more detail. Not sure now, but can always go back and add it later. I’ll have to look at some doors and see what I think.
Please contribute. Summer is coming and it will be a great time to be creative.
Somehow this story that I seem to be creating is really important. I don’t feel like I am a good enough artist to really do it justice like some of the artists in recent books I have read, but I keep plugging away.
I did a series of the creative prompts all at once listening to music and it was really a different experience. I really got into a creative zone and that felt good.

This drawing is kind of the culmination of a series of flower doodles that I did in a journal I used in the middle of last year. I got on a flower kick and just couldn’t stop drawing them.
I don’t feel very proficient at some of the technical aspects of the drawings, but it is fun to try and work out the little problems. I am kind of glad I am doing a bit of a series, because I can work out and improve some of the aspects in the later drawings.
I have an idea for a flower/picnic quilt and think that the flowers may be studies for the flowers I will use in that quilt.
I know that all of my sketches are out of order. As a inherently organized person, this is driving me crazy. I can’t, however, with good conscience back date them, so here they are in all their glory.
I think I may be caught up except for Beacon and I have an idea for that one. It is a technique, though and not an image. I really have to check, though to make sure.
Here is the response to bold. I apologize to everyone who had trouble with this one, because I did, too.
The story continues….
Orange was the creative prompt to which this drawing is a response. It doesn’t feel very creative just to draw a bunch of oranges. I like how they fit with my cartoon story.
A lighthouse is a beacon.
Beacon of hope.

Summary: response to dream creative prompt
I know I showed this quilt on Saturday, but I realized that I am dreaming of flowers and the beach and of all things cheerful. After the Pamela Allen class, I really want to make a larger piece using her techniques. I wish I was at Asilomar with her and could work on it under her guidance. Someday.
What do you think about Orange? Orange is the creative prompt for this week.
Orange is a color.
Pat Sloan recently did an orange retreat on her blog/FB page.
Orange is a fruit and juice.
Many cleaning supplies claim to have orange properties. Color or fruit?

I saw this and thought it would be a good response to the Air Creative Prompt. I think that was a hard one as there haven’t been many responses. I am jsut behind, which is why I haven’t posted my response either. Here it is!
The Creative Prompt for this week is bold.
Be bold.
Act boldly.
Bold fonts.
