what IF and little bird on a branch...

This ended up being far more collage than anything,

but it was still fun to do

and such a relaxing way for me

to end the day.

That's my new motto. 

Is it fun?

Great!

Then do it!

Does it help make the day just a little better?

Great.

DO. IT.

We spend far too much time

justifying art.

It is what it is

and if it makes you happy -

do it.

So i spent over an hour last night

in my little blue room,

with good music,

a glass of wine on the left

and brush water on the right ;-)

and I played.

I've realized in the past year or so

how essential this playtime is for me.

Twyla Tharp calls it The creative habit.

I sometimes call it play but in reality, it's work.

It is my life's work

and it is no less important

than anyone else's life work.

And sometimes...

while painting and collaging...

when your mind is free,

and you no longer hear the chatter

you may even find answers

to some of your own questions.

little bird wishes you all a wonderful day...

filled with more color than you can handle.
