Wrapping up the 100 Day Project : Sketches 76 through 100

As you may know, I just finished my 100 Day Project. And if you didn’t know, now you do. My commitment to this project only came after I had completed a 60 day ICAD (index card a day) project in the Summer of 2017. And had done that after hosting my own 30 day challenge…

Before the Creativity Bootcamp started, I laid out an outline of what I might like to try to do during each week. Creative practices that I usually have a hard time giving myself permission to do could have an excuse now to be explored. The first week of the challenge, I continued on the collage…

Winter Color

Winter Color

The overcast grays, the rusty leaves. You’d think the winter landscape was colorless. But there’s color in special places. And then suddenly two bald eagles fly up from the side of the road, disturbed from their carcass feast as you drive by and you gasp as their beautiful large wings spread in front of your…
