day 5

30 paintings in 30 days

29 faces 

i have taken on several creative challenges this month...

one probably would have been enough but i could not say no

to the second... and then the third, a journaling challenge with

prompts came along.  after much thought i decided i would try.

if it became too much i would bow out.  as it turns out,

the journaling is fueling my creative fire.   i learned

that you can never predict what will be the one thing

that will add to your life.  do you spark your creativity 

in any particular way?

"Pursuing my path of becoming an artist wasn't really about the art."

Lisa Sonora

the journaling reads:

my family immigrated to the united states in the

early 1900s from japan.  each of them explored

art at times of distress.

i do my art because it is my calling.  i did not 

know this for decades.
