…day three in my art journey
After a relaxing day at the outdoor spa in Collingwood we drove back to the cottage and I pulled out my sketchbook to bc start my third piece of art. This one was more detailed and took some time but I’m loving the process.
Mindful Mark Making
…it’s all about slowing down
My inspiration is from Amy Maricle’s book Draw Yourself Calm.
Day 2 of my art journey in 2025.
When I Grow Up
…thanks today RDP for today’s prompthttps://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2025/01/14/rdp-tuesday-when-i-grow-up/
When I was 12 years old I knew that I wanted to become a Family Studies (formerly known as Home Economics) teacher. I had been asked to attend an open house at the school and demonstrate what I had learned on the sewing machine. From that moment on I was hooked.
That’s not say that I didn’t have other options. There were moments when I thought I might study medicine but I always came back to teaching. For over 40 years I was a teacher. First as a Family Studies teacher and then a guidance counsellor in Middle school and then a grade 5 classroom teacher. At the end of my career I became the teacher librarian and art teacher for the entire school from JK to grade 5.
My secret fantasy growing up was to become a famous rock or folk singer. Instead I sang with a choir for 27 years.
Back to the Drawing Table
…it’s been close to a year since I’ve pulled out my art supplies
I’m at my daughter’s cottage for several days and since she’s working up here we both thought it would be a good time for me to start putting some marks onto paper again. I gathered up a few supplies and my mixed media art journal and started with baby steps towards continuing my art journey.
It’s the perfect setting. Quiet and restful with wonderful views of the forest and the falling snow. Here’s my first piece after playing with collage and mark making.
