Art Prompt: A Collage of Your Favorite Things

Image
If you need a creative boost, a collage of your favorite things just might perk up your spirit. Here are some ideas for getting started:


- collect some of your well read magazines and start cutting out images that resonate with you. No need for a lot of thought here. Colors and patterns may catch your eye, faces or rooms might pique your interest, titles of articles may draw your attention. 

- find colorful patterned papers from gift bags, tissue inserts, the inside of security envelopes, junk mail, or greeting cards. 

- look for images online and print them on your printer

Snip away until you have a group of images and letters to start.

You can adhere your images of favorite things onto a piece of card stock or any heavy weight paper you might have on hand. Glue stick works well for this. First arrange the images in an appealing way on the page and use your adhesive to put them on the page. You can write over the images with words that inspire you.

In this Blue Woman mandala (left), the colors of blue, magenta and green are used as inspirational colors. Blue represents trust in myself, my intuitive nature, exhilaration. Magenta & purple are indicative of creativity, spirituality, and transformation. Abundance is represented by shades of green. Orange red flames are symbols of passion and a burning desire to create, to express the "wild soul."
The colors in this first mandala are from my painting "Blue Woman" and are symbolic re…

Painting in Progress - The 8 Day Abundant Art Show

Image
This painting has been on my easel several times over the past few months. I can't find any photos of it from the beginning, but I started mixing paint colors and putting shapes on the canvas in January. I'm sharing this process here as part of the 8 Day Abundant Art Show for emerging artists to share their work on social media.

I was loving the shapes & contrast, bringing some elements forward and keeping some background in the layers.


Letting go of some elements and bringing in some other shapes, loving the process and not getting too attached to outcomes... not easy.


Deciding to darken some areas gave the opportunity to bring some new shapes and details in to the mix. Part of what I love about this process is the thoughts and journeys my mind takes as I mix colors, think about what shapes I want to use, how letting go allows me to listen to my instincts.


So I'm sitting with this and listening for what comes next...

Meanwhile, I just launched a new facebook page at …
