It was a wonderful lot of prompts to get creative. Bryce, Laura, Gemma and Grace each contributed to my creativity by buying me sketch pads, canvasses, paints, brushes, pencils, and ART CLASSES.
Sister Bron and daughter challenged me last year. Laura told me NOT TO TAKE MY CAMERA TO JAPAN last September, and Bron held me accountable to that promise. Bryce was encouraging with his expectations too. So when we went to Japan, I took art supplies but no camera. The people on the Intrepid tour were less than encouraging to start with. "You come all the way to Japan but you don't bring your camera! (Kind of like - you'll regret this). But I stayed true to my word and almost filled 2 sketch pads. I was pleased with the results, and when I got home I promised myself that I would draw every day. I didn't, because life got in the way with full time work, but I still drew frequently. Christmas presents last year were art inspired. One of those presents were a full day of life drawing at AGNSW. I so looked forward to the day as the time approached. Then the day arrived. It was wonderful, and as it was my first ever life drawing class, I was so inspired, and planned to get involved monthly with the Art Gallery. I met some pleasant and creative people there. The teacher was as artistic as her colourful name "OCHRE"
