After 2 1/2 years of sharing creative aspects of my life in these posts, here on this blog, my faithful Wally trying ever so patiently to walk me through the process, I have finally uploaded my pictures by MYSELF! Ta-Daa!
It doesn't help that I struggle with my left brain, not that I don't have a completely good one, but somehow, probably through neglect, I struggle with instruction, always preferring to do something creative before anything linear.
You will have seen how much I enjoy taking pictures.( Yesterday and this morning have been gloriously sunny.) And of course it is my great joy to be able to share them with you as I live a fairly isolated life and somehow this helps me to feel more connected with the world.
Perhaps the reason this bit of obsessive drawing (pen and watercolour) looks so perplexed and unfinished ( and probably will remain unfinished ) is that I find I need to move on
looking for something that will hold my right brain's attention.
But today I persevered with hints and encouragement from my sister and Wally. How empowering!
It astounds me how much of my life has been spent avoiding things I'm afraid of, things that I want!
I thought you might enjoy this video as much as I:
I am a great believer in the transformative power of creativity. I am most delighted by the creative path my intuition takes me. I have an innate response to humble materials, natural and recycled, having been instilled since childhood with the ethos, "something from nothing", by my beloved grandmother; she, like so many women of her time, had an admirably creative resourcefulness........................
Mostly self-taught, I have an eclectic interest in Art. But my joy is in the deceptive simplicity of handcraft and its interpretation by modern "primitive" artists who seem to bring to their work a sense of serene melancholy and spiritual longing that the Japanese call wabi-sabi: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, nothing is perfect.
