July Art Prompt

How cute is this furball ?? 

They are also the mascot of our July art prompt !

"What does it look like to adapt ?"

We're focusing on "look like" in the hopes that that will inspire some visual art. But feel free to explore other verbs like "feel, sound, etc." No limit here and any medium that you prefer ! Photography, painting, a limerick. Go nuts !

Or go slowly. Like this critter. Lol

Your art. Your choice.

Happy creating !

"I'm Not Afraid of You Anymore"

"What feels light to you ?" was our June art prompt.

Hm. "Light," as in, not heavy, but also, not difficult... and maybe comforting ? 

Well, painting always feels light to me.

It lightens my burdens. It brightens my mood. It releases some of the tightness in my chest and gives me a place to pour my thoughts.

But often, it is the very last thing I will do. Lol How silly, right ? I will clean and organize and email for days... and put off painting. Why ? If it helps me feel better ?

Well, here's my thought. With painting, it's not just a state of relaxation, it's also a state of contemplation. Annnd, if I really have some quiet time to think, I might not like the thoughts that come up to the surface. Feelings like sadness or anger. Emotions full of worry and what-ifs.

So... I put it off. Stay busy. But I am SO glad when I always come back to it.

This one's title is dedicated to my inner critic which can be oh so unkind to me. It's called, 

"I'm Not Afraid of You Anymore"
