Art Fair on the Square

☀️ I so enjoyed the sunny (and very sweaty !) day at @mainstreetfayettevillega's Art Fair on the Square two weekends ago.

🖍 The best part was seeing so many parents and kiddos coloring together ! (And then the little ones wanted to give their creations to me. Aww !)

Notes for next time : Possibly displaying items by size and price ? And I ran out of business cards ? How is that even possible. 

Udemy Art Therapy : Prompt 5

🌈 How do colors make you 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗟 ?? 

The 5th prompt from my online @udemy art therapy course, this one was pretty self-explanatory. Surprisingly, the task was a little more difficult once I got started.

The poet in me automatically associated the hues with strong “visuals” (blue = ocean, no wait, that’s not it !). I challenged myself to keep going, but instead, think of the feelings evoked by the images, not just the objects themselves.

Maybe you’d like to give it a try ?? 😃📝

Sidenote : my favorite color is blue, so it’s no wonder I associate it with feelings of safety, home, and inspiration. 💙

Dance Is a Song

 🎼 Inspired by my friend, @lorencatherine_ , and one of her favorite quotes by Martha Graham :

“Dance is a song of the body. Either of joy or pain.”

(Side note, not trying to glorify the skinny ballerina stereotype, just sticking with simple doodles for now. Bear with me. 🖊)
