Adding to the series.
quote
January 18, 2012
Saw this printed on a card the other day, no author given:
“It is never too late to begin what intrigues you.”
I liked the use of the word “intrigue”, as I typically see this kind of sentiment expressed as “It’s never too late to do what you love”, or “to follow your dreams”, etc. Intrigue feels like a more subtle approach to identifying a life-giving path. The word draws me in more deeply and seems to require some thought. I like that.

This resurfaced from my art closet and got some fresh coats of paint.

These are all feeling more complete, now that I’ve combined the art with pieces of books (I especially like using the book spines). :)

walking…

Seems as long as I live in a walkable neighborhood, I can’t stay away from photos completely…

In process shots…
holidays
January 4, 2012
I enjoyed having my entire family in town over the holidays (parents, brother, and sister-in-law). I don’t usually post many personal photos on here, but my dad just emailed some shots he took and I thought it’d be fun to share (although he and my mom are conspicuously missing :).
focus
January 3, 2012
As I contemplate art plans for the beginning of this year, both my own and those involving other artists, I am thinking that I need to take a mini-break from the photography and the writing that I do on my two other blogs. There are some specific art projects I need to work on at the start of this new year, and it feels good to me to give them concentrated focus with renewed energy. So, as much as I love the creative outlets my other blogs afford, I am going to take a bit of a mini-sabbatical from them in order to keep honing my fine art making skills (which of course I will still be documenting here along with other art-related events, since this seems to be the “mother” blog from which everything else flows :). It’s good to know when to explore and try other things for a season and when to reign in the focus and do one thing for a concentrated period. This kind of ebb and flow makes the creative path an interesting one.
