Ready or not 2019 is here! May your year overflow with wild adventures and creative explorations! May your hidden skills and talents spring forth as you embrace your Creative Voice. Remember, creativity is not confined to the titles of Art or Artist.
2019 shall be filled with goals, plans and dreams to be accomplished. Opportunities, adventures and the unexpected delights hidden within each day. The arrival of the New Year is an exciting time anticipating the possibility of the unknown. I'm probably one of the few individuals who can say, I do not make or declare a New Year's Resolution, instead I look forward to embracing each new day with as much creativity as possible. Some days there will be paint, others a shovel and tons of dirt, possibly fabric, pens and pencils, baking or developing new Gluten Free recipes and yes, at some point daily I will be at the keyboard writing, working on a new book to be released later this year.
I am beginning 2019 with a large blank canvas on my easel which is waiting patiently in the studio. A new art journal and a set of pens for my Doodles and Sketches. As I tie up a few loose ends remaining from 2018 I am looking forward to 2019 and the grand adventures to come!
Happy New Year! May 2019 be your BEST year yet!

Dandelion Wishes
Dandelions are more than flowering plants with a tenacious ability to grow and flourish within hostile environments. Their bright cheerful golden yellow ushers in spring, celebrates summer and is reluctant to leave when the frosty mornings of fall return. The delicate patterns among the petals is worthy of a masterpiece to be hanging in the finest galleries and yet, the Dandelion is considered by many to be a weed! Shocking right? Everyone knows Dandelions are made for childhood fantasy and fairy wishes.
Dandelions have an amazing ability to instantly restore childhood delight to busy adults willing to bend over and gently pluck the wispy wand. Somehow more magical than birthday candle wishes or coins tossed in a fountain, Dandelion wishes are visibly carried upon the wind, sometimes lingering dancing and twirling before silently vanishing into the realm of fairies and pixie dust where they are certain to come true.
As you are out and about today, capture the images of Dandelions. Grab a magnifying glass and inspect their regal beauty and if you are fortunate enough to find a bloom that has gone to seed, by all means, gently pluck and cast your wishes upon the winds.

Puddle Jumping
April showers bring mud puddles, rainbows and May flowers! I love Spring rain showers.
The low rumbles of thunder, the flashes of lightening and the rush of wild wind as the storms race across the country side. I love the sound of the Spring Creepers chirp celebrating the arrival of rain and the emergence of the box turtles when the rain is gone.
I enjoy watching the water collect into puddles and waiting for the arrival of the birds. Rushing to be the first to splash and bathe in the Spring rains as if in celebration that winter is over and warm sunny days are just around the corner. However, more than anything else, is the excitement of jumping and splashing in the first mud puddles of Spring. Mud splattered and soaking wet surrounded by cheers and joyful laughter. Spring has finally come to my garden.
Soon, many hours of my days will be spent painting En Plein Air, between the flowerbeds or resting in the shade of the apple trees, as an excuse to avoid weeding or mowing. Spring! I'm so looking forward to feeling the mud squishing between my toes.

A Creative Life
Do you have visions of creative individuals walking around covered in paint? There truly is more to a Creative Life than the appearance of art supplies. Briefly, a Creative Life is filled with adventures, explorations and the journey into the unknown. Are you Creative?
How do you know or identify if someone is Creative? Are there visible signs of Creativity?
Take a closer look at Creativity. Creativity is the ability to think "Out of the Box", to be willing to explore options and opportunities even if they might not work. Creativity is taking an idea expanding on what is before you and exploring the unknown while asking "What If". Most often, Creativity is birthed from daydreams or inspired by the works or needs of others. Creative individuals are problem solvers, innovators, and sometimes artists.
Ask the "What If" questions, think "Out of the Box" explore all of the possibilities.
March forward into 2017 curious, and exploring your wildest dreams. You are Creative!
