Finding Inspiration

Inspiration was lost to me for a few days, gone was the desire to create for my 100 artworks challenge.  This weekend a change of scenery is what I needed, and it came knocking. A hike in nature with a friend,  a visit to an artists studio space and viewing art was very uplifting. It was exactly what I needed to keep going.

Day 15 of 100 artworks challenge

Didn’t have a clue that I would be emptied of creative expression tonight until I sat down to create. I put all my energy and soul into yesterdays artwork Day 14, which seemed to zap any interest in making something today. Sticking with the challenge I decided to just work smaller and keep it simple.

Day 14

100 artworks challenge

Taking on this art challenge has inspired me to experiment with mixed media to create art everyday, discovering what types of media I like to work with. The artwork is a gift for a co-worker’s birthday.
