Why ‘trust’? Today Tony has an invasive test done in Hamilton, 4 hours away, and I had to trust the surgeon, hospital staff etc with his care without me being there. Not easy. I also entrusted him to my best friend Sandra’s care, but I would (do) trust her with his life. That’s an easy one…

Tim Holtz Distress Paints, Stencil Girl stencils, various pens, Sakura white gel pen. It’s interesting that two days in a row I have treated it like a mini art journal and scrawled down all the things that are in my head – making sure they can’t be read but feeling good for getting them down on paper. It’ll be interesting to see if that continues or whether it’s just because there is a lot happening just now.
I’m already thinking that it would be amazing to show these as a single artwork at the end of the year; they’ll be really disparate but tied together by size, and possible text.

364 pieces of art
I used to blog a lot, as a way of showing my art process, and to clarify my thinking. Over the years FaceBook became my avenue for some of that, but it’s not as good. Too many distractions, and hard to see progress over time. And of course FB changes the rules from time to time, often with little warning. I’ve not been creating as regularly as I used to, yet it’s good for me – even 10 minutes a day helps and makes me a happier, and therefor better, person all round.
In lieu of over-ambitious New Year’s resolutions I won’t keep, I’m committing to making a small piece of art every day. I’ll probably work on index cards so I can take them with me if I’m away from home. I painted every day for a year once and it was great. Sure, in the end I didn’t manage every single day, but it was fun anyway!
I’d like to draw better, so I’ll be incorporating an element of drawing into some pieces. Along with the art, I want to think out load more, and commit those thoughts onto my blog. As an introvert I find it’s good for me to have somewhere to put my thoughts down. So, yesterday was a rest today – today, the 364 pieces of art project begins.
