in my experimental group each person has an turn to present 

a project to the group.  this month  i led the group  through a round of ten prompts.  

the idea came after a six of my  journaling friends from various parts of the country 

met at my house to journal.   we decided that each of us would give a prompt, one at a time 

and we would all follow along in our journals.  it was so much fun that the 

group decided to continue over the internet after everyone returned home.



my piece using the ten prompts



in the end, in my experimental group, we all had the same prompts but 

each one of us created in our unique style.   you will see from scrolling down.  we all have our own

creative 'voice' no matter the sources of influences.  i found it  the  same true when i was writing.

here are a few of the works in process.


















we will continue to work on these pieces next month.

i will show you the results in june.  







i also want to spotlight the plain air art by my husband, bob.

he loves the outdoors and  nature.  you can sense it in his paintings. 

each of his pieces speak to you from a familiar yet distant yearning within.  



today i am sharing this post (late) with friends at paint party friday.   click and you 
will discover many dedicated artists who post their artwork weekly.

  4. OOOhhh so much fun. I love love love your abstract girl. I use to do something similar when I taught beading. I would put out bowls of bead and the students could only use those beads. Each person would create something so different. It is a great exercise. Bob did a fantastic piece of art as well.
    Happy Sunday to you
