How Do You Celebrate Your Creativity?

Happy World Art Day! Since 2012, this international celebration on April 15 (Leonardo da Vinci’s birthday) has promoted the importance and value of the fine arts and creativity around the world.


 


As some of you know, I love to paint and draw. (I’ve shared some of my work in past blog posts.) But for a long time, I never thought I was very good. In high school, art class was really stressful because we were always given very specific assignments and charged by the instructor to create “something.” I would form an idea in my mind and get really excited about it, but I could never make it look exactly the way I envisioned on paper or canvas. It was frustrating and disappointing.



In the years since, I’ve learned that in art and creativity, there is no right or wrong. I let the piece develop freely and see where it goes. Now that I don’t have any specific demands on what I create, the process is freer and more enjoyable. I’ve been experimenting with new mediums and techniques and I’m finding it extremely relaxing and more enjoyable every time I settle down to paint. I look forward to learning more and defining my style.





I hope you enjoy some of the work I’ve posted here. I’d love to hear about some of your favorite hobbies. How do you channel your creativity?


Fashionably Late is off this week, but make sure to tune in next Friday, April 24! Until then, keep checking in on Facebook (and if you haven’t already, be sure to “like” my page) for some inside scoop, style inspiration, and lots more fun!


Blessings,
