Wow! “It's been a while”, is an understatement. A lot has happened!

I hope you all are surviving the chaotic times we are living in.

I have turned to creating smaller, easier to manage art after an unfortunate injury that seems a lifetime ago. I'm fine but my mobility is a little compromised. No worries, because I am loving what I am doing.

I've been making greeting cards. Tons of different types of greeting cards. First, I'm really excited about my original collage art cards. These little beauties are suitable for framing! There are prints of my original paintings. Others are photos of my art and photos of my local travels, that I've altered using cool apps.

Moving into smaller art has changed my perspective in countless ways. I'm learning to use trusted mediums in new ways on what seems miniature substrate. There are no large and sweeping gestures, simply fascinating details. Included in my new repertoire, are new mediums, substrates, and tools to master. And of course, with all the innovation there are new and talented Art Leaders to follow. My mind is packed and soundly challenged as ideas churn. It’s a crazy new world of art!

My next step will be to upload some examples here for your viewing pleasure. Speaking of next steps, I have many. I have re-activated my Etsy Shop, but regrettably it’s nowhere ready for shoppers. I have so much to do! I feel a bit like the Mad Hatter.

The List!

I've been making a daily search on the world wide web and sifting through anything I can find about self-love.  What actions to take, what questions to ask myself, even quotes that are food for thought regarding self-love. Looking everywhere for pearls of wisdom from experts, seers and others just like me. So, I was gratefully surprised to find in my very own email a post from one of my very favorite artist and blogger, Kathryn Costa, at her  Collage Diva blog.  Her post really fits so well with my current self love journey/search, PLUS I totally love Tiny Buddha as you all know. Visit Kathryn's blog for the list from Tiny Buddha written by Sarah Nean Bruce and to view her delightful art journal page dealing with powerful ideas about love put into words.  I love how Kathryn can artistically express her ideas using paint, paper, images and just the right words....She is truly amazing! Peace. Ellie
Loving the time between Christmas and New Year.  After all the juicy color cards I've been playing around with I thought some neutrals would be fun. I love them! Now, back to writing down some ideas for the new year!  Have a wonderful New Year!!!
I was reading a blog that asked the question; "Who inspires you?". I've been inspired by so many! I'll list a few.  The links attached to the artist are just their latest videos. I hope you have time to take a look at what these fabulous artists are doing. Jane Davies Adele Sypoensteyn Everybody @ Stencil Girl Louise Fletcher Donna Downey Elizabeth St Hilaire Robyn McClendon This is by no means a complete list.  I think I will do more posts like this to honor all the artists that have inspired me and many others! Have a great day!
