From my sketchbook...
I have taken these past months as a "sabbatical". Using this time to think/consider new "directions", new styles and what really I want to do as an artist & designer. Like a blueprint and a new layer to discover....I'm sure some of you understand exactly what I'm talking about.
As an artist I constantly have ideas, colors and patterns popping in my head (thank God for sketchbooks!). I needed time to think and pin-point what are the things that really make me happy in my career as an artist and concentrate my efforts toward my goal.
I love both of my careers...as a Senior Graphic Designer (for in-house design dpt.) and my career as an illustrator/artist. Both of them are "me" and both make me so happy! I'm passionate for both.
So during this time...one of the things I discovered is my love for painting. I always found it kind of "scary" to paint with acrylics (weird, ha?) But I soon as I decided to try it, I felt in love! I have been painting in canvases, in furniture, in paper....Painting spontaneously!
The painting above is one of my latest creations. I hope in these coming months I have more art to share with you...and new additions to Whimsy and Stars Studio.
..it's a good feeling to let go of old plans and embrace new inspirations and bliss!
I'm happy!
I have ordered this book from Amazon for this month's reading...it seems very interesting...In one of the pages it reads..."Lasso your Dream, bring it down to earth and make it part of your Life". I'll keep you posted on my reading...What catched my attention was the main topic of the book: "to help people overcome their three biggest barriers to living their dream finding the time, the energy, and the money to make it happen." Can't wait to see how good is it....
