The Artist's Way!

Wow, so I am reading this book called The Artist's Way - A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron, A Course in Discovering and Recovering our Creative Self - Wow!!! I know, some of you are like - "you are just now reading this?" Answer - Yes, it found me a couple of weeks ago, and I never knew about this book. I think this is the best book on this kind of subject I have ever read! I would call it the bible of art thinking. The thing I love about this book, is that it addresses all people. Not just "artists". It is not about the simple idea of art, but actually living a more creative life and being in touch with yourself. It talks about our responsibility to give of ourselves and how we can create for ourselves and others. And the best part is all the creative ideas ans ways to unlock those blocks. It is such a good read - you can't put it down. She talks like she is sitting right next to you, and I understand her. This is rare for me! ha! So, if you have writers block, art block, or simply want to have more creative eyes and ears - READ THIS BOOK! You will love it!

So today, I plan to miss rehearsals because of a sore throat, and rest, and paint! I don't want to get the other actors in Three Sisters get sick, so I can stay home and catch up on a couple of painted wine glass orders. I will post pictures as soon as they are done.

I had a really fun dream last night - I dreamed the kids and I got picked for a photo shoot, but the lady that picked me wanted me to have RED curly hair!!! LOL! So, yes - in my dream, I had the make-up artist give me a perm, and dye my hair a strawberry blond. LOL! It was so funny! Then, the lady that picked us for the shoot, went on to tell me not to worry about the wrinkles around my eyes, or the dark circles because she saw it as aged beauty! She wanted more of it in her pictures. Weird huh?

Oh well - I will update soon. Have a great week ahead!

Better Pictures of the Montreat Martini Glasses and Bracelet!

Alright - I thought I would post some better pictures of my latest glasses and bangle bracelet I painted. The customer ordered it for a friend of hers that she went to "Montreat" with. My customer Rhonda from Peters Path wanted her friend to have a memory of their time together. Well, I was thinking..."Rhonda can not give her friend a memory gift and Rhonda not have anything", so I surprised her with a painted bracelet that Rhonda can wear. I hope she likes it, she said she loved it! Now the two friends can both remember "Montreat". I am not sure what I enjoy more, painting, art, or making people happy. Either way, there is not enough money in the world that is worth this feeling. Success!

Now, I am off to start a new order, and I am continuing to work on the set of "Three Sisters", with Ocean Troupe. Love the cast! Good times! :-) I posted some pictures in my last post.

Enjoy your last days of summer, it is coming to end faster than I can even imagine.
