Visual Journaling (Art Every Day Month, week 4)

Art Every Day Month is drawing to a close and I find myself thinking – as I did last year at this time – that I should extend this habit as a kind of visual journal. I have no illusions that I am a Great Artiste. I only know that painting delights and calms me.

Art wouldn't, for me, work as a diay. A year from now I probably won't know that on day 20 I had a migraine.  Art becomes a sort of slow-cooked meditation for me. I lose myself when I'm painting and, when I review a week's worth of paintings, I can accept them without judging. That's a good process for someone like me who often mistakenly pushes against what is.

Don't we all do that? Push against what is, That just may be the story of my life.

I think so, but you'd be amazed at how often I think I'm uniquely flawed.
