Hi Micol: I’m really looking forward to it too, and I’m so glad that the vibe around here works for you! I’m not always calm, but when I’m making art I am. 😂 Cheers

Oh that’s great news, and a great example of how giving yourself an invitation to simplicity can open up more art in your life. YAY! xo Happy creating!

I’m about to go on vacation for a week and taking the pressure off to plan and execute a complicated piece is a relief.

I’m so happy that you have found a way to begin to create a bit again. The slow drawing sessions are great for that. I wonder also if you have tried my free class: The Guide to Creative Self-Care it helps a lot of my students out of the creative slump. Cheers!

I too enjoy making simpler things. Even following your prompts I found the freedom to romp and explore. I love art and have always felt it was a part of me but do not always indulge. My creative spark lasted about a year and a half and tipped away not to be seen again. I miss it.
