…thanks to Becky B for hosting January Squares
The other morning the rising sun was so bright that it actually woke me up. I was so excited to see the sun come up over the lake because I’m normally sound asleep when this happens.

…thanks to Rainee for connecting me with the 30 Day Creativity Challenge
Today I finally got around to starting my first assignment for the year long on-line course called 2020: Words and Pictures. Carla Sonheim’s first lesson was taking a phrase and creating at least three different art pieces using any medium we wanted. The phrase is:
‘This might be impossible to read but it was fun to make.’
I kept writing the phrase from the centre of a circle and just kept going and going, around and around. In the end I decided to add some collage detail and write the phrase one more time.

….thanks to Rainee for hosting the 30 Day Creativity Challenge
Rainee has completed her 30 days but you may want to start your own creativity challenge. I’m starting to make some simple drawings in my sketchbook again. I’m using mostly ink right now and taking inspiration from Lisa Congdon over at Creative Bug.

Walking through the mall it’s nice to have natural daylight stream through the windows.


…thanks to Cee for starting a new challenge Hunt for Joy
The theme for the first week is to Get Outside. Seeing how much I like to walk this was a pretty easy one for me.
As you can see it’s been a bit overcast lately and the weekend calls for lots of rain.
But these two fellows brought me joy on my walk.
