Sharing creativity

At the end of last year I began meeting with a young woman named Gaby to share creative projects. 

We work independently at home and join up at her mother's local Cafe on the weekends.

The first week was a flower experiment in watercolor.

The second week was doodling in pen and ink.

For the third week we filled in the blank space on each other's drawings

and colored in sections with colored pencils.

The fourth week we used different media to create

 an intuitive piece on a large 18"x24" canvas.

The fifth week was a piece that was inspired by a song.

We will repeat this experiment for next week with

a recording the inspirational songs playing 

while we view each other's creations.

2025

Wow! The start of another year!

There have been many additions and subtractions throughout 80 years of my life. The additions have brought joy. The subtractions have brought grief and sorrow. No doubt there will be more of both in the years ahead. 

Instead of focusing on the past, I am going to focus on smiling at everyone I pass on the street, saying thank you to my servers, lending a helping hand to a neighbour, encouraging youthful enthusiasm and, most of all, telling my family and friends that I love them.

Wishing everyone a calm, peaceful New Year.
