Aside from creating artwork, I cannot think of anything much more important for an artist than PLAYING. Yes, you heard me...playtime. We have playdates for kids, and recreational time for grown-ups. We need set play days for artists!
Serendipity and maybe fate brought me back together recently which a group of artists I met when teaching my class Spirit Boxes, Sacred Vessels and Shrines for the very first time many, many years ago. These amazing women are now all accomplished artists, and I remain honored to know them. When one of the group was recently diagnosed with cancer, she requested that we re-form the artist group we had back in the day. These are the pictures from our first play day get together, where we played around with collage papers and paint. We were joined by another artist's sister, the fabulous
Linda Lenart McNulty, and had us a time!

ReplyDeleteThey are so necessary, and so fun. Let's do one soon, Haley!
DeleteSo true. If you can't play you ultimately can't create much because your well can certainly run dry.
ReplyDeleteI agree; playing also helps you maintain a certain fluidity, while you give yourself permission to explore.
