Creative Sundays (Written on a Saturday)

It has been an emotionally dark month.  And, like Forrest Gump, that's all I want to say about that. For now.

Here is something I did last Sunday while listening to Perfume Genius and hanging out with Maris:


It's an unedited photo of a painting I'm working on.  A work in progress.  Can you tell yet that it's the ocean at night?  I hope so.  Really, it is so much more, though.  It is an illustration of how desperately I need to be creative. Not necessarily an artistic master.  Just creative.  And I have to make time for this.

Creative Sundays.

Everything else gets done during the week. And, if it doesn't...that's ok.  Sundays are the times to be creative:  painting, photography, writing, reading, crafts, knitting, and so on as I could progress infinitely through these necessary things.

We need those times, friends.  We were made to be creative.  Let's do this.
