I have a lot to learn.

Caladiums I am growing.  No better art.  So pretty.

Further journaling attempts.   I am amazed at the visual journaling I have seen in books and on line.  I am trying everything.  While it is extraordinary fun, I get just a tad frustrated with trying to create something worthy of viewing.  But I realize that this is part of me and much of life is experimenting until the right fit comes along.

A first try at art journaling...still learning!  Always learning....

Snails

Art brings an awareness to you to notice the things around you.  Plants and animals have the most interesting shapes, sizes, colors and formations when you look closely.  Afterall, man created color from the ultimate Creator.

I wish I could post a sign that reads "Slow....Snail Crossing Ahead" near a place where I work.  Though I am unsure of their purpose, I know one exists.  Yet because of their size they are simply stepped on and left on the cement as reminders that the slow and tiny seem insignificant.  If we could view their little world from their perspective, how different we might view them.   

I usually pick them up and move them to the other side.  Maybe I am the one who is not supposed to interfere.  I can't resist because their shells are so beautiful.  Their small little shells there to protect them. 

Art Journaling

I have recently discovered the joy of art journaling.  So many talented journalists abound and their creativity has led me here.  In the journey of life, one can get so lost in making a life, one tends to miss the life altogether.  At the age of 57, I am now just finding out what I truly enjoy and love doing.  Art is one of those things.  However, let me just say, I don't feel I have a talent but thankfully, that doesn't mean that talent is not there.  It may be just waiting to be revealed.

I think this is exciting and a whole new world for me.  So this is about anyone's life that doesn't feel quite fulfilled yet.  Maybe it's never too late to find joy even in every day matters.  Just a doodle can end up being quite the art.  It's the sheer fun of creating something, anything that reflects who we are.
