March is Youth Art Month! An exciting time for youth to have their creative efforts acknowledged and encouraged by the communities in which they live. It is great to have dedicated an entire month for this purpose however as an artist I long for the time when everyday is Art Day!
How will you be celebrating Youth Art Month? Need ideas?
1. Take an adventure and visit as many art galleries and museums as you can visit.
2. Purchase art supplies and invite the neighborhood children over for Art Day.
3. Donate art supplies to a local school, the art teacher will thank you!
Below is a teaser from my recently published book, Hidden in Your heART to encourage you to embrace your inner artist as you celebrate Youth Art Month.
16. Psalms 1:3 Like a tree planted by the rivers
of water
Like a tree planted by the rivers
you too are receiving from those around you, you are maturing, growing and
becoming a creative individual. Consider your family: are there artists or
creative individuals known to you within your family tree? What about your
coworkers? Who inspires you to excel? Where do you gain inspiration throughout
the day? Like a tree, you have deep roots which are supplying resources of
creativity. You are multifaceted, consider the limbs of the tree how they
provide shelter, shade, oxygen. You also bear fruit of your labors and your
creative force within stands out, you are unique in your presentation of life.

A Lesson from a Squirrel on Winter Survival
The 3 S's : Squirrels, Snow and Supplies
This morning upon investigation I discovered a Squirrel in panic mode, rapidly gathering additional items for insulation for it's nest. The nest tucked high in an oak, swaying in the wind and honestly looking quite cold and unprepared for the approaching winter storm headed our way. The squirrels may soon be covered in snow. So how does this relate to your Creative Voice, Your Artistic Expression?
Take a closer look. The squirrels have been busy all summer and fall raiding my garden, consuming and hiding my apples and pears but very little effort has been spent reinforcing the nest. They have played and feasted for hours on end and have even napped on the back porch! And now today, they are searching for nesting materials. Very few choices are available this time of year, a few dried leaves here and there blowing in the wind. Snow and Ice are expected later this week.
Don't be like the squirrels. Be prepared for when your Inspiration Strikes. Maintain an adequate supply of Resources, Art Materials, Studio Space which is ready at a moments notice to be called for or secured for a sudden Creative Adventure. Consistently work towards your goals, honing your skills, strengthening your creative voice as you explore options and possibilities daily. If your time is limited, Doodle. If you are saving up for a large purchase of Art Supplies, Doodle. Doodling is an economical method of recording and exploring Creative Expression. Doodling can be 'controlled' in a small journal or notebook, or randomly released upon scraps of paper or fast-food packaging.
You are Creative. You are Artistic. Be prepared to release your next masterpiece and avoid being like a squirrel! Are you prepared for Cold Winter Days, are you prepared for Snow and Ice? Do you have your Art Supplies ready and waiting for 'action'?
