Art Every Day Month, November 15th
November 15th, 2008
Today is the 15th day of Art Every Day Month. We're halfway through the month! Crazy! I'm having so much fun creating along with all of you. Thank you for all your wonderful inspiration, creativity, and great energy!
The box below is a widget that I provide each day as an optional place to share a direct link (blog post or flickr image) to that day's creation. If you don't have something to share today, don't worry about it! Share when you can. In the meantime, be sure to check out what other participants are creating! Check out the links from today's post, the previous day's posts and the links in the sidebar for instant inspiration. You can also see lots of great work in the AEDM flickr group. Feel free to share your work there too!
If you use the widget, please link to a specific blog post (or specific image if you're linking to a flickr page or other website) instead of your main blog page or website. If you want to share, but don't have a specific page to link to, feel free to use the comments section of this post to share what you're working on. If you're posting less than once a day, no problem! Simply use the latest one of these posts to share a link to your creation! For some, it's too much to keep up with posting every day, but don't let that get you down. Do it if you can and if you can't, just keep on creating, that's the most important part. If you get off track and miss a few days of creating, don't let that freeze you up either. Just pick up where you left off and keep moving forward. One foot in front of the other. You are making your life a more creative one with each step.
If you're new to Art Every Day Month, check out the before you use the link widget to share your creations.
How do you respond when an inspiration beckons? Do you accept the invitation or disount it? By honoring a personal impulse and following where it leads, creativity is born.

I did the digital painting for wetcanvas weekend challenge inspired by the images posted there.

Heading for a big Jerry’s Artarama sale today in Raleigh. Lots of vendors there selling supplies at a discount. This is where I get my year’s supply of paper and more paint, etc. I bought clayboards last year, but I haven’t done much with them. AEDM may change that…

I think I am done with a couple of the ATCs I’ve been working on. Sometimes it is difficult to know when you are finished *-)

Interesting quote today. I don’t think I follow ideas enough.
I love how AEDM has made me start painting on the weekends, something I can’t remember doing since preparing for my show last year. I’m impressed how easy it is to find time for art on the weekends, too.

I am surprised I’m still plugging along! Thank you to all you wonderful artists who keep inspiring me with your work. Leah, many thanks to you for your continuing inspiration and comments…without you and your work, I would never have done this.

Better late than never… I’m a bit behind :0)
Wonderful quote… so many times I ignore the call thinking it frivolous…
Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks, Leah, for a lovely & inspriational blog! I played harp today at our downtown 3rd Saturday “Art & Wine Walk” – the local bookstore has decided to participate without the goodies, but with music!
Such a sweet setting, & I saw a few books I want . . . Since I don’t have a link to my music, I posted a photo I took today of the star lady I made a few years ago
