Morning peeps - up at 4.30am today. Couldn't sleep, (lots going on at the moment, not all of it good ) I went out for a walk around the garden and thought "nature is sooo beautiful". I love this thread - it's fabulous. Can I set us a challenge - aside from what we're doing artistically at the moment - can we each take a moment to either sketch, photograph, model, write, whatever for 10 minutes this weekend about something that's inspiring you at the mo and share the results? You don't have to post if you don't want to....

I'll start :-) I took this photograph yesterday as I loved the expression on the duck's face and I'm thinking of drawing him on a greeting's card for my sister's birthday....

I'm back! I did lots of projects with the niece but no work of my own. That's ok I feel really good about it.

Yixi thank you for the challenge I will participate this weekend! I hope you are doing ok.... you mentioned stuff is going on. Hang in there, keep creating. I love the duck!

PJ, how exciting! Can't wait to hear all about it

I can't wait to get back to some project, not sure which one yet

Oh one of the projects I did with the niece was to take blank white t-shirts and markers and glitter paint and make a pattern. We would choose one fruit and one animal and draw as many different versions of those two as we could invent, covering as much of the shirt as we could, until it was done. They turned out great!

It's sooo great to have you back, Plenny!

Yixi, I LOVE the challenge idea!! I'm struggling with getting back into drawing after all my binges & all that happened, and I need motivation...

LOL Yixi....I found him on Google, then discovered he's one of the characters from "Monsters University" ~ and fittingly his name is Art!

Hi everyone! This is silly but in the spirit of the weekend challenge I sketched part of my grocery list while I was waiting for my breakfast at a cafe near my house. This is a pretty typical grocery list for me. Ha

Hello friends....got sidetracked over the weekend (not in a good way) but managed to work on a painting yesterday. It was inspired by the release of a new album from one of my favorite bands....so I included it in a photo with the new cd and posted it on IG....it got a "like" and a comment from their bass player! Not bad!

PJ how's it going? Getting ready for classes?

Artists in Recovery is sort of a play on "Artists in Residence" haha but yes we are virtual artists in residence. This is a "place" to me

Wow, that’s really cool, Purps!! I’d be so excited haha.

I haven’t checked IG in a while now, I have to log back in and see your new work. ❤️
