I'm feeling so light... I've been bumping into art lately. On Thursday I was able to get into a nice sketching groove. It felt nice to just open up to the flow and watch he ink escape my pen to create stuff. I approach it with curiosity, always wondering what will come out next? I've been doing some meditative doodling that's really a fun process. I don't want to judge it as pretty or ugly, I just let it come out and be what it is. I'll be sure to post some photos soon...
One thing that I really ended up enjoying was that I put the words "mistakes made in art" on the opening page of the book. It's funny, but I was saving that page somehow... like it was so important. That sentence actually really freed me from the anxiety of "performing." In my mistakes is where I find the surprising excitement of creativity.
On another note, I had another friend express interest in joining the project. She's in my area, so it would be cool to sit together and sketch. There's something to be said for the group creative process I think.
