Workshop Day

I spent the afternoon in an acrylic workshop with Alma Sanbern. I have never touched acrylics before. Wow, what an emotionally fraught experience. First there is all the insecurity that comes from being a beginner again, then slowly a releasing to the moment, playing and dabbling, and finally the exhiliration upon seeing the paint on paper and getting some satisfying results.

Take a class or workshop, step out of your comfort zone and stretch your brain. Of course it is scary but it is good for your heart and soul.

Artists thrive in community.  An artist works alone but gets inspiration out in the world.  There is nothing like being in the company of artists, visiting openings, shows and galleries, going to workshops and talks, to keep the creative juices flowing
