my creative space starts {if i'm lucky} on the walk home from kinder/childcare. i try to clear my head and focus on what i'll be working on . . . it's only a 5 minute walk unless i stop and look!
not sure what i'm doing with these drawings ~ i have a couple of ideas, but am thinking too hard about how to go about them. thinking too hard makes me feel a little blocked! i guess the thing is, that i like them as simple drawings but feel that they need to be something else somehow. this usually involves scanning + photoshop or painting, then scanning then photoshop . . .
hope you are having a joyous time in your creative space today. for lots more visit kirsty.

hi belinda-
thinking too hard about a piece definitely blocks me (and keeps me up at night!). and I also recognize the feeling of really liking something I've done but knowing it needs a little bit something else...best of luck figuring it out (as I'm sure you will).
enjoy these walks - can't wait to see what you come up with your drawings
I know what you mean Belinda, too much thinking can be disorienting when it comes to making art...the walks are definitely good though, enjoy them even if they are short!

actually the pencil sketches look like some of the plants on your trip home...so nice to see your process..
I can't think too hard about these sorts of things without becoming blocked either. I can see how your walk is very inspiring :)
and yes - 6 meals is more like it - with snacks in between some days too!
xo,

too much thinking is definatley a block for me I have to wait for it to happen, I did a post on doodling last week and that is great for unblocking and not thinking!! love what you have done I think they look beautiful in their simplicity just as they are
oh what a lovely walk. I love the way you've used the simple sometimes unnoticed things for inspiration - but that is what you do isn't it? I have a new term. Gretchenmistic - the art of using simple things for inspiration. Ok. I'm rambling but it's true.
I would say you take full advantage of the beauty around you. If only I had the time to do the same. Maybe I will have to be a photographer. I usually only have a split second to catch the majic in my classroom everyday, and then sometimes it is just a look that flashes across a teenage face. Keep up the great work.
Lovely colours and connections. Your work is so inspiring xo
What a gorgeous walk! They all look great but I really love the last one with the text etc. :) K
you've got such a lovely walk!
so lovely
Hi Belinda :) love all the silver in those plants, and the delicate flowers, and leaves... what a cool walk. :) a perfect way to start the day.
That's a pretty start to your creative time! I like the drawings just as they are, but I understand the urge to make them more. That's why I end up in embroidery or carving, because I can't just leave the drawings alone!
thanks Danielle :)
