Birds, sky, moon, words

Sometimes something emerges in my sketchbook that catches me a little off guard and feels like it’s about to take me in a bit of a new direction. That’s what happened with this quick little illustration the other day.

Next week I’m embarking on a 100 day adventure with a group of fellow creatives in my 100 Creative Days workshop (registration is open and there’s still time to join!), and these motifs might be where I begin. Birds, sky, moon, words. I’ll be painting on small wooden panels during the workshop, with my sketchbook interspersed as needed — my kiddos and I will be traveling to Colorado just a couple days into the start of the workshop to help care for my mom, who’s having a pretty big surgery next week, and so I’ll need to be flexible in my daily creating. I think it’s always a good idea to stay flexible in our creating. It doesn’t need to be perfect. In fact, one thing that’s going to be really important for me during these 100 days is showing up honestly each day in the community space — sharing struggles, wins, aha moments, where I’m feeling resistance, setbacks, all of it.

I’m really excited to get started. Our kickoff call is on Jan. 21st, and day 1 of art-making is January 22nd.

Who could you be at the end of 100 creative days?
What kind of creations could you have to show for it?

If you want to find out, I’d love for you to join us. The workshop and community space just opened today and we’re starting to get to know each other already.

There’s power in making art.
There’s power in doing it every day.
And there’s magic in doing it together.

I haven’t worked on a project like this in several years, and it’s making me feel both nervous and excited, which is always a good sign for me that I’m heading in the right direction.

Come join me if this feels like a fit for you wherever you are in your life and your creativity right now!
