Art Every Day Month- Day 22- Who Needs Reality When You Can Make Up Your Own?

aedmlogoredI love how this one felt to do. Even though I have no idea what it is. If I had to identify it I would say that it looks kind of organic- like a flower or plant from another planet. But it was very absorbing and relaxing to create it.

I do enjoy letting the pencils or brushes just lead me. It really is fun and takes the pressure off tremendously to not have to TRY to make my drawings represent anything real. If I were actually attempting to paint a specific flower…. like a rose or a tulip… I would have way too many opportunities to be worried that it wasn’t turning out exactly right. Whereas if I am painting or drawing something that doesn’t even exist on this reality plane no one can tell me I’m doing it wrong… unless one of those aliens from that other planet happens to show up here one day!!

And painting and drawing like this always feels like true creation to me because I’m actually making something that has never existed before!! How cool is that!!

  1. I heard you can fend off those aliens with a glitter gernade thrown right between their googly eye balls! You might want to create and have one handy…just in case aliens invade Creative Juices Arts! Every good super heroine always has a few laying around.

    Love you Chiris!!! Love your painting!

    Peace & Love.

  2. Hey Connie … thanks for stopping by AND for the tip on dealing with those alien critters. I can always count on you to have the perfect glitter solution to ANY problem!

  3. I love the colours! It is great that you are having so much fun while being creative!

  4. I love this. What you said about taking the pressure off and just going with it… that is beautiful, and SO true.

  5. It’s so nice to paint from a heart, spirit centered place and not so much from the mind. I notice that the more I let the paint guide me, the more present, more peaceful and more connected I feel. I just feel my heart opening up in so many new ways! Thanks for sharing your colorful, beautiful work.
