The point is, inspiration is everywhere. In your back yard, your closet, or as I recently learned, on Artists Helping Artists, a live talk radio show hosted by Leslie Saeta and Dreama Tolle Perry. These two artists host a weekly live talk radio show. Their show is an informative conversation with helpful insight into everything from creativity to organization to marketing.
One interesting show I listened to was an interview with the artist Carol Marine who committed over 4 years ago, to do a small painting every day. Wow. Now that is inspiring.
For about 3-4 months last year I was doing a tea bag drawing every day and I loved watching the drawings evolve. While that series is on hold, I still have tea bags hanging everywhere and they often make their way into my work.

Hi Nanci,
Denise here, from Triage. I just figured out how to subscribe to blogs, so I'm working my way down the list. Glad to see you're so active.
I would love to commit to doing one painting a day - but I think I would stop if I didn't have someone to be accountable to! Camaraderie, you know.
Merry Christmas to you!
Hi Denise,
Let's do it! I'm on day 5 of a painting a day and I am getting into the groove- making time and feeling good about what is happening. I want to continue and would love a ptg. buddy. Also, I wrote 3 posts on Wed. and spread them out. Want to commit to anything similar (or more or less) and check in with each other?
Merry Christmas to you too!!!
Nanci, I just finally remembered to come back and see if you ever left a comment -- yes, I will be your painting buddy!!! Rather than try to catch up, I will do one right now. I'll look around for your e-mail address, and we can connect that way. Hope you had a great Christmas!
Great Denise, and remember you can click on Subscribe to comments below where you do leave a comment on someone's blog.
