The project and the process

Over 30 days into it. The above photo is the work of an artist printmaker. Wooden assemblages. She is working daily with found sticks and pieces of wood scraps. Embracing the creative habit allows the artist to work in harmony with her materials.
Think of it like playing and enjoy the freedom it allows.

DeKooning

DeKooning- "We are going to spend all summer looking at this thing, one piece of paper or canvas at a time. And we are going to work at it until we get it exactly the way it is . Then we are going to keep looking at it until we have killed it. Then we are all going to keep working on it until we bring it back on its own."

There are no false starts

I received this email and photo from an artist friend who is participating in the 100 day project. she wrote:
"The first image attached is from the little book I am carting around for my 100 day project. 'Course it's taken 2 weeks to do 4 entries, so I decided to allow myself to do 100 days in however many days it takes. To stressful to feel like I am failing or behind when things happen that make me too busy to do it.
It's been interesting already to see how colors and shapes are morphing using pens, markers, pastel pencils, colored pencils.
Rule is to just draw what I want to that day, for no reason at all."

Longest day of the year..to do ART

There are a few more of you starting out on this 100 day ( or 93, 87 whatever) project. You know who you are. Keep it simple.

Things are not difficult to make; what is difficult is putting ourselves in the state of mind to make them. (Constantin Brancusi)

Mornings are the best for me, I think less. The house is filling up with circles and squares. Thank god for paint chip samples. They can be used as colored paper, and there is a great selection of colors to choose from.
