Keeping an Art Journal, Part 2

I set off at the beginning of last week with the intention to create a page a day in my art journal.
"ART RUCKUS Armadillo," 5/17/08.

What a gift it's been to carve out these small windows of time when I can fully follow what moves me—whether it's a certain fabric, an image, a feeling.

"Room with a View." 5/18/08.

In the simple act of pairing these scraps together, I'm drawn back into the present moment. For a short time I get to put aside my ideas of who I think I am, or who I've been in the past, and just follow what I know right now, as it manifests in form and color.

"Untitled." 5/17/08.

Thanks for following along with me this week. I hope you've enjoyed watching the pages pop up. Sharing them with you has helped me keep my commitment to connect with myself through art each day. So I'm grateful for the part you've played in the process!

"The Whipskeet," 5/16/08.
