Artwork a Day

We have all seen the Julia Stiles movie, I forget the name right now about the girl that cooked one of her French cookbook recipes a day for a year. We've seen the one that I personally found impressive, sewing a new dress out of a thrift store find each day for a year.

I would like to put on my own challenge. For all my life painting and crafts and artwork has been an integral part of my identity. I've always found it relaxing, decompressing and very gratifying to engage in any artsy activity, especially painting. This part of me has escaped me for quite some time now, and I feel not having this outlet has deprived me and changed me, not for the better.

By taking on the challenge of producing one artwork a day, I can self-impose my best outlet for any kind of feelings on to myself and thereby force myself to let them go each day instead of dwelling on them. A second plus will be, though they will not all be award winners, it helps me create a portfolio of my work.

So starting today, August 27th, for one year I will post one piece of artwork, weather it is a painting, sketch, drawing, papers criss or glue kind of thing or anything else that requires me to sit down and be creative, I will post the outcome here on my blog. Hold me accountable, check in, let me know how I'm doing good or bad, I'd appreciate everyone's support!
