Creativity and Life

When my husband died recently, a friend said to me; Life is an ongoing experience Donna - it is like creativity in action. When I thought about it seriously, it dawned on me, our every choice creates our life experience. Life is fraught with challenges such as meeting the basic needs of food and shelter, paying bills, raising families, transportation, and relationships. Making creative choices allows us a certain freedom, that many times shows us a different way to deal with the many daily challenges.

Our lives are are like works of art built over time from our every thought, choice, and act. The world is our canvas for self-expression.

There are no retakes or edits, only additions.

We develop our skills just like an artist, and our art evolves as we do. If we don’t like what we’ve created so far, we are free to choose a different color, texture, or setting. Emotions and sensations are important parts of our artistic toolbox. We may choose to be more conscious, adding only what we truly desire, be it beauty, love, joy, adventure, or all of the above. By letting your imagination lead the way, you can turn that "on going experience" into a work of art - a creative labor of love.

My life, like my drawings are works of art that has been an "on going experience".   There are no edits or retakes.   Hopefully my drawings will continue to evolve as I search through my artistic toolbox for continued creative energy. Someone once said: I am finding that reality is not for me, I love living in the clouds - This would be my portrait.
