Making Art Every Day

Today's Word of the day - Swoon 
Some time ago a friend on Facebook invited me to a group challenge to rekindlle my artistic spark and make art every day. I did it consistantly for a while, then lost my stride and continued making art but sporadically and self judgement came up for me often.

Then my health took a turn for the worse and I realized that I needed to refocus on my purpose in life, and that I could still make

art even when stuck in bed for days at a time.  I decided to make art every day even if just a doodle on my phone. At first I downloaded a simple free paint app for my Droid X, and over time I have returned to making art offline as well as online, and a combination. taking pieces I have drawn and adding color in my phone is one of the most relaxing methods. I will share that process in  another entry.

 For at least the last 2 months I have created something daily. Sometimes a piece of something,  Or a doodle, tiny sculptures, sometimes 100% original, others use layers of pics and graphics. Some unfinished,  others multiple complete pieces that are whole series of paintings. 

Here are some examples:
