Garden Town is a very happy place.. at the moment it is rather quiet.. well it is just around lunchtime and nobody’s outside.. busy indoors.. cooking or eating or whatever..
my muse and i decided it was time for some fun.. mind you.. being creative is always fun.. but if you create something in the hopes that PERHAPS somebody MIGHT be interested in buying your art.. there is a bit of an edge to the fun. at least for me … this however.. sketches.. are just that. sketches.. no ambitions and hopes that PERHAPS somebody MIGHT want to buy them.. if yes, great.. if not.. great ! so there is totally no pressure on the creative process.. no mights, and hopes attached, no fears of making mistakes.. just completely letting go and accepting what’s coming my way.. fun with testing and exploring different techniques.. different media.. mixing them.. scribbling, writing, drawing, using pencils, crayons, left-over sticks from burnt-down incense sticks, etc etc.. adding paper, gauze, acrylic gel medium.. anyway.. you get the drift. and now i finished this first set.. and already new ideas for another set are bubbling in my mind.
this feels GOOD, this is REFRESHING, this is how it should be !!! LIFE is GOOD 🙂 have a fabulous day and thanks for dropping by and reading this !
this is the third image for today.. and the last. tomorrow i will continue and – probably – finish it.
a new WIP with working title RED. as i read a lot and order books very frequently online – no i do not use kindle! i like BOOKS ! 🙂 – i have quite a lot of cardboard which i use for my collages / mixed-media art… so i suppose i could call this recycled art. why red ? red is one of my favourite colours … now this has to dry and i am looking forward to continue with this tomorrow.
