There is a joy in getting lost in the process…
Art journal page background painting…
In letting whatever wants to come, just come…
With no expectations about the outcome…
Art journal page with figure, a title, some pen details…
Having moments of being fearless in creating…
Being a conduit for messages from inside or from out…
Lyrics on the art journal page from this song that was running through my head…
(It’s almost 20 years old, yikes !!! But I still love it so !)
Letting the Artist voice inside tell you when it is complete…or not.
I found this in my inbox this morning from Bone Sigh Arts
and saw myself in it so clearly. I knew it had to be added to the page…
turning point
“ lighting a candle in her own darkness,
she came and brought it to the others.
'i understand,' she whispered, 'and i want to help.'
there was safety in what she offered.
there was hope in the flickering shadows.
quietly, they gathered.
and it began.
crying, trusting, struggling, sharing.
empowering and celebrating,
they grew and became more.
taking their own candles back to their own worlds
they changed the darkness back to light. ”

Yes, there is a joy in the creative process…
And also in the fact that I can re-create that joy whenever I want…
“Creativity is God's gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to God. “
Julia Cameron
