What a cute idea and takes up less space too, YAY! How fun you and Andy are coming up with ideas all the time for Lucy and your home. <br /><br />The above post is beautiful, how exciting to run into a Elk, beautiful pictures. I love that you too had to get out of your head and onto paper. That is what happens to me also, just have to get it out. I could see you doing lots of holiday things with these sketches, especially Christmas cards would be so pretty. Have fun with this new inspiration and for sharing it with us. dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763553809671436129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-74146818117351434132014-10-22T23:57:52.954-07:002014-10-22T23:57:52.954-07:00So Interesting!!!!!!!So Interesting!!!!!!!Sue Marrazzo Fine Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06119033602079882097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-34600383258554777752014-10-22T16:08:54.958-07:002014-10-22T16:08:54.958-07:00what a great photo! awesomeness...what a great photo! awesomeness...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974094017303381912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-35130457407572374452014-10-22T14:53:17.112-07:002014-10-22T14:53:17.112-07:00Wonderful!

Lost the memory of them quickly and never really thought about them as useful, just day dreaming. After this class I think I will keep my notebook closer at hand and record them.

In fact there were stages in my life when I hated the place that I lived and really struggled with inspiration and feeling like my heart was not in the right location. But being an artist- I still needed to work through the process of finding inspiration and I knew that I had to get out into my world and "surrender to where I lived". If I couldn't find flowers, plants, animals and the things that I loved in my backyard, I had to look for them. I spent a lot of time at the zoo, plant nurseries, parks and anywhere that had some aspect of nature. It wasn't my first choice but I found that working through the process of opening my eyes and seeking ideas in my environment completely changed my attitude and process and it reflected in my work. I know this philosophy is not for everyone but it is something that I am passionate about and a message that really needs to be shared with others. Hang in there Sara, I know what it feels like to not live where you heart is and all I can offer is encouragement to just do your best with what you have and then let the art making process take over. xoxoxoAlisa Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02530329745687053976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-20250727655423135062014-10-22T07:08:29.623-07:002014-10-22T07:08:29.623-07:00Love that drawing!!!

However, although we do have things all around us to draw no matter where we live, if who you are in your heart and soul is nature and you live in a city, drawing that, is not reflecting your authentic self. In fact it is really conflicting. I really dislike drawing buildings and they are mostly what I see. Interesting as some of them are, they do not sing to me. In fact it makes you realise how much you want something different to be reflected in your art. Of course nature is everywhere, but there are no deer or brown bears strolling down the highstreet, no rolling hills, tumultuous waves etc. Just park land (luckily I have access to lots of it), which is relatively tamed nature. So to draw who I am, I have to actually get right back on to the internet to draw that deer in the forest that I long for and wish was part of my everyday.<br /><br />I love your drawings, they are wonderful. <br />Sara Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15337568.post-58520159309145683982014-10-22T05:08:07.076-07:002014-10-22T05:08:07.076-07:00I love this !
