Day 21: Fall Tree

November 21st, 2014, Comments (1)

This month has gone so fast, hasn't it?! I hope no matter where you are on your creative journey this month, that you're having fun and making some discoveries. This month has been good practice in carving on small bits of creative time while Alex sleeps. His naps are so short that my time is also short, but I've been pleased with what I've been able to squeeze in by having my materials ready to go and working small. Sometimes limitations are a good thing! Less time to question, you just have to go!

Art Every Day Month Day 21

Today is the 21st day of Art Every Day Month

I usually post my art at the end of the day, but every morning there will be a check-in post like this one, where you can share your work whenever you're ready to do so.

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 and the links on the participant page 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, not your main blog page or website (or you can link to a specific image if you're linking to a flickr page.) For example, in a past AEDM, for day one I linked to my first post: http://creativeeveryday.com/creativeeveryday/2010/11/the-owl-and-the-pussycat.html instead of my main blog page: http://www.creativeeveryday.com. This makes it easier for people to find your work.  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.

How to participate in Art Every Day Month: Check out the AEDM info page for all the details, instructions on how to get involved, and then visit the participant sign up page before you use the link widget to share your creations. The Information page also has instructions about how to use the widget below, if you're having any trouble with it.

Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram: You can use the same #aedm2014 hashtag if you're playing along on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. A Facebook group has been created this year as yet another place to share. 

Creative Every Day Challenge participants: If you're not doing Art Every Day Month, you can still use any of the daily Art Every Day Month check-in posts to leave your weekly link.

Sat down today with the notion that I wanted to work with dark blue. The rest just flowed from there!

Day 19: She Put on her Phoenix Cape

November 19th, 2014, Comments (4)

Today, I sat down not knowing what in the world I was going to do. I grabbed some oil pastels, put down a mark and then remembered, I'd really liked the look of orange and teal I saw somewhere the other day. That was a start. I started drawing a figure. One thing led to another and suddenly she had a firey cape. I wasn't expecting that, but there it is! I love the unexpected turns that happen while working in an intuitive way. It was fun to work with a different medium today too!

Playing around a bit today. Thinking about what lies beneath the sleeping trees in winter.

Day 17: Deep in Thought

November 17th, 2014, Comments (5)

This is a good example of the power of AEDM. I wasn't feeling like creating this morning, I felt rushed and nothing was flowing. The first thing I tried was a big fail. Then I saw a face in this little painting, I'd made and followed it where it went until this piece came along. A piece that wouldn't have been made without my commitment to create every day! Love when that happens.
