I was tickled to see that my November post was featured in PPF!! Fitting, as it was about my show at Walnut City WineWorks as the 'featured artist!' THANK YOU for all your sweet comments!! & I LOVE the pic chosen - She Stands between the Worlds!
As I step into the whirlwind of creativity - I'm enrolled in Shiloh Sophia's 'Legend' course (6 months online), have applied for CoW teacher training (Color of Woman) AND am in her year long Red Madonna community .... I reflect on last year, & all the painting I did.
It all began with that workshop to paint my Muse with my friend Elisabeth back in February. ... who knew what a treasure trove that would unlock?! Shiloh says she feels the voice of the Muse of creativity is the voice of the Critic transformed! The Critic voice comes out when our creativity is stifled .... if you think of it, children create naturally & joyfully!

I care for my preschool age grandkids 2 mornings a week, & they LOVE gluing or painting! They don't think about how purple looks next to brown, pink, orange! They might observe that all the colours make brownish swish, or show me their monster, but they just create! & then go on to something else! What happens when we create like that?

beautiful work! I love your colors!
if they like gluing and painting, you might try them on collagraph printmaking, which my daughter LOVES - cut out bits of craft foam (very cheap at the big art store or some dollar stores), glue to a piece of cardboard, then paint it and press it onto paper. My daughter likes to make several prints and color over some of them with more paint or oil pastel or whatever I have out.
Beautiful painting and I love the photo of your magic brush!Yes, children have the best way to paint, free and without so much thinking like I always end up doing,lol.
What a beautiful painting. It's awesome that you spend creative time with your grandchildren. Happy day to you.
Beautiful artwork. I love the idea of offering the inner critic ribbons and sparkle :)
Beautiful trio
Wow your a very busy grandmother. Lots of fun things happening. Your creative muse has got to be jumping with joy and excitement!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today and leaving the lovely comment.

That's a great idea, Swan!
We actually have a bag of foam shapes with sticky backing, which wee could easily attach to cardboard!!
Thank you!
so true! We adults overthink things way too often!
I actually glued ribbons onto the bottom of my muse Gabriella's canvas, on her bodice! And she has shimmering feathers in her hair!
It is lots of fun, spending time with the Littles!
It was lovely to visit, Karen, and thanks for dropping over here!
Such a gorgeous canvas! Sounds like you got a lot of fun things lined up! I can't wait to start working out all the ideas that are constantly forming in my head :-)
Wow what a great lesson..Beautiful painting too!! I love the idea of giving the muse chocolate. It's so true we did let go more as children. So wonderful your grandchildren are able to create in your midst so freely! They will forever remember that.. I know my son in love has such fond memories of his grandmother teaching him to paint!
