Ok, so I know I am supposed to be doing a piece of artwork every day.  I didn't do a new piece, but I did design a flyer for our local Legion Auxillary.  That takes creativity too!  Its just not as blog-worthy.
I also just got assigned a store to display in for our local First Friday event.  Yes, THIS Friday.  Like, DAY AFTER TOMORROW!  So, I have been working on that, this evening.
AND, tonight, I ended up painting the same lady that I posted on my last post, but at 16x20. (She was 8x10 the first time)  I should have done her that big to begin with, because I liked her so much, but I am now re-painting her.  So, even though I am not posting a piece of artwork, I have been creative today.  Tomorrow I work all day and have a class in the evening.  Work all day Friday and have to set up art an hour after work. SO, trying to get everything done.

I will share a photo that I took today.  We have had a lot of winter weather in the last 24 hours... here is what I woke to:

My hubby had the day off, and took his camera out and about and shot a cool shot I want to share:

Creativity comes in all kinds of ways, I guess.   Mother Nature did it first, we just recorded it on film.  As beautiful as winter CAN be, I am ready to see how beautiful Spring is, as soon as possible!

Ok, so its after 9pm, I just got home from class.  I have been gone since 7am.  My body is fighting off what the rest of my work team is battling, and the sandman is screaming at me.  Good thing that I have two things to post tonight.  I think I owe one yet from the weekend.


 

This one is my favorite passage.  I find comfort in it and know that whoever is in charge of me has a full time job!

And this came from a photo I fell in love with a while back.  Nothing deep, but I am happy with it.  One of those things I felt compelled to do.

Well thats it for today.  Time to call it a day!

Its been a heckuva week.  I won't go into details but trust me when I say, its been a rollercoaster. Made a little better when Hubs brought me this, on Thursday.  Gorgeous, and just the color I needed until I get some spring around here.

I have had to catch up on a lot of stuff this weekend.  One of the creative things I have been doing is making book boxes.  Not from any kind of pattern, but trying to make them up as I go along.  Last one was from a beer case. Just for fun.  Somebody probably can find flaws, but they were fun to do, and had to use my brain a little.

I started two paintings too, small ones, and hope to get them done to catch up on my goal of a piece of art a day.  Books I am counting as one.

OK I'm back.  The paint dried and the new one is ready to show.

Today is from a quote from Ayn Rand... and something about it resonates with me.  "The guiding star is within."   Everyone has something that stirs their soul.  Everyone can feel deep down what is right and what is wrong, if they choose to listen.  Everyone has a different path to get to what they are meant to be.  The Guiding Star.  The gut.  Intuition.

Share a time when you had a gut feeling about something!

I didn't get to post my yesterdays art, but now that its dry, I will show you what I did.

These are made from paper towel tubes.  I saw it on pinterest and thought I would give them a try!  I also made these:

 

Also from paper towel cardboard tubes!  I am not sure what will come of them, but when I find something, I will post it here.

OK finished my creative item of the day... todays:

I think everyone who puts themselves out there, and follows their hearts, does.
Have a great day!
