Homecoming
November 30th, 2010
For Day 30 of Art Every Day Month, I played again with fluid acrylics on watercolor paper. I started to feel like the last few days have been pages of a story that I don't know the end to. By creating intuitively, I didn't know what the next page was going to hold, but they still seemed to tie together into a story. It was fun being surprised by what came next each day. I'm calling this one "Homecoming" and it's about 10"x9".
This month has been the fastest moving Art Every Day Month for me yet! It truly flew by! I so appreciate the wonderful energy created by this great group. And while I'm ready for a break from posting every day, I will miss it. Thank goodness we get to do it again next year!
In the meantime, there's still the Creative Every Day Challenge. Tomorrow, I'll have a post about December's optional theme of "Air." And I'll also be posting later this week about the 2011 Creative Every Day Challenge and how you can sign-up and join in.

yes it’s kind of amazing how the month has flown by, and yet when i look back it was a big long month which produced an incredible amount of artwork all over the world and even for me personally when I see all the 33 posts on creative record for November 2010.

This is gorgeous! It makes me think she is in some heavenly realm. All your art inspires stories in my imagination. Maybe one day we can work together on something.
Thank you sooooo much for organising this month – it has been an important part of my creative and personal journey in ways difficult to describe on here. I’ve said a little on my blog but it is bigger than that. Be proud girl – you are an inspiration!

Breathtaking!

Drink the wild air. Wow. Knock my socks off (to say nothing of your new color pallette and this gorgeous picture). I feel like part of my day is missing, but I, too, am happy for a bit of respite from daily blogging. Although it definitely opens channels for me energy wise. Gonna have to pay attention to CED…make a commitment to it for 2011. I have two projects that just moved to the front burner – ones that scare me. Which is why they just moved to the front burner. I’m going to let the wild air feed my soul – and spill them on out. xo

The colours are stunning. I love this piece Leah!

Congratulations to you Leah and all of the AEDM participants. We did it! I am always amazed at how creative I get and how prolific I am. I set out on the month long journey with a list of possible projects but invariably new ideas come up that I can’t resist jumping on. My blogging pace will slow down a bit in the next month. I’ve had fun and wow it truly did fly by this year. Have a lovely holiday season. {soul hugs} k
