Intuitive Painting Play

I am having fun this week taking a little course called Intuitive Painting Play, offered by expressive arts therapist Shelley Klammer via her website, www.expressiveartworkshops.com

Shelley has designed many bitesized courses, usually lasting 30 days, where one can explore making a piece of art, a piece of writing, or a collage in about 10-15 minutes each day. They are arranged around a theme for the 30 days. They are also very affordable. For instance, Intuitive Painting Play cost $25 US. This course is designed to loosen us up a little and get the creative juices flowing. I don’t know if it is a coincidence, but I have felt inspired by making these daily paintings and have made a new friend this week and connected with several old friends. I have been planting annuals, journaling more and generally enjoying life more since I started the course.

Of course, the stay at home order was lifted yesterday, the vaccination rate is going up, case numbers are going down and it looks like there’s every chance we will have an enjoyable and more social summer. This could definitely be contributing to my happy week too!

If you feel like engaging with something to jumpstart your creativity, I encourage you to take a peek at Shelley’s site and course offerings. Otherwise, enjoy being out in your garden and looking forward to summer fun!
