Denise gave me the right baby steps that I needed to start journaling. I found that after two weeks of microjournaling, I was getting hooked.
I have a hunch there are many people like this here on substack. Not professional artists necessarily, but looking to find community. If you enjoy art at home, check out Monique's substack.
Fiberly encouragement, always a joy to read and see what Louise is up to with her knitting.
The 21st century world, for all its faults, remains an amazing place to someone like me who was born near the middle of the 20th century. I love that I have found this kindred spirit who lives half a world away, and enjoy learning about her slow and creative life, and the flora and fauna in which she takes her delight.
Clint talks about that spiritual side of creativity that give words to the hunger, why it feels like soul starvation if we don't make time for our creative pursuits.
Johanna made me realize that I still carried a lot of productivity driven baggage and gave me some clear guidance on how to find and re-inhabit my true self.
Carl's sketchbook snapshots always motivate me. He has started to post photo prompts for all of us to share and discuss on his chat thread too.
So many of us trained for careers and dropped our art by the wayside to pick it up again in our later years. I was so pleased to meet Graham Saxby here on Substack, who is an artist and a photographer. Give his site a look, I think you will find his posts thoughtful and well illustrated.
