This month was the beginning of CAG Plein Air Painting.
A group of artist meet at the Forest Hill Nature Center to sketch and paint. Some went away with the beginnings of a master piece and others has a finished painting. To be away from everyday craze, sit in the sun and listen to the music of nature causes one to relax and let the art talk for them. We will announce where we will be meeting for next month . So be ready for fun, fellowship and art. deb

Deborah ‘Thought of You’ – A Creative Love Story AnimatedFebruary 14th 26 We have a wonderful little treat for all of you on this Valentine’s Day. To say it’s just a video is to say very little about this. It’s a beautifully complete story, animation, and all-around well-crafted piece of art. It’s a great story for Valentine’s Day and covers the gamut of different emotions and relationships in about 3 minutes…pretty amazing huh? Fitting right into our motto of inspiring others to create, we hope you enjoy this amazingly creative video. The creators blended 2d animation and choreographed dancing to create something stunning. ‘Thought of You’ Animated Film Making of The ‘Thought of You’ AnimationThe “making of” video is also worth watching. We think it’s pretty cool to get a look into the creative process of mixing different media and styles of creativity. http://www.arttherapyblog.com/videos/thought-of-you-a-creative-love-story-animated/#comment-110152 Related articles:

I needed time to think, pray, process issues, and organize my thoughts and day. Many times it is time to have quite time from the chaos, time to listen to a book on cd, or opportunity to listen to "my" music. My kids like it when I paint because they can have one on one conversations with me. I"m all theirs as I paint and they process life. My mind is no longer on the painting but on the conversation at hand. The beautiful thing is that my paintings become better when allow the paint to be what it may. Most if the time I surprise myself with the results, " I can't believe I painted that" is the comment that comes from me. |
AuthorI am an Artist wantabee. I love art for Art sake. With 5 kids, foster children, dogs, chickens and bees. I need something to fill up my time. I hate cooking, baking, canning, doing laundry, cleaning house and even taking baths (I shower) My love is for art and it all began when Icould not communicate properly, I needed to use a picture to show it my thoughts. I hate not being able to express my self. 40 yrs later here I am able to tell you all the wonders that Art can do for you and others we share it with. Archives
