In 2014, I took about 20 online art classes! I wanted to Soar! And I did! I flew to new heights in my art making.
This is one of the mixed media pieces I did in Lifebook 2014:
It was fun to play with different art mediums to create it.
I tried to create a bird that looked like it was soaring high above the mountains.
I pay more attention now to birds flying in the sky…
Hope you SOAR in your creativity this week!
Happy Creating!

I learn so much from you. My whole thing with art is freedom. That’s why the seagull (and birds): freedom freedom freedom. Yet, I’ve chained myself to the alphabet and watercolor (which seems to have so many rules, I can’t even remember them all, argh). SET ME FREE, JILL LOL ((((((((((Jill)))))))))))

Thanks for making me laugh, Laura! My brain just doesn’t stick to one art medium for very long. Not sure that’s a good thing. LOL!

I think it’s a wonderful thing. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee!

Oh Jill – I LOVE this piece! Every time I think I can’t love a piece more, you share something else EXTRAordinary! I so want to try mixed media, but I want to remain on watercolor for a while first. Some day though! I’ll keep getting inspired by you in the meantime! 🙂

Thanks Carol! I did not have to work much in 2014 so I had more time to play! I really like learning new things. I think 6 is more manageable! 😊

I am taking one challenge and one online course and can barely keep up….how did you do 20???? Lovely collage so you obviously persevered! It is funny how your view of something can change or be heightened with a simple awareness!!

I didn’t complete all the lessons in the classes but I enjoyed watching the videos and learning from my classmates. In 2013, I took Carla Sonheim’s class, The Year of the Giraffe and I started seeing giraffes everywhere! I agree – Awareness is an amazing thing! 😊
