Wednesday’s Creative Tip: Bring Along a Creative Activity
As I mentioned yesterday, I am going out of town next week,…. to Hawaii! I will posting as often as I can from this paradise and will be showing you their unbelievable florals through photos. To get ready for this trip, and really any one I take, I plan at least a week ahead of time what creative activities I want to bring to stimulate me. This is an excellent idea for anyone who is interested in pursuing a creative lifestyle. Traveling brings so many new visuals, tastes, music, fashion, colors, you name it, it is different from where you live.
My plan is to bring books, one is:
Book to pack
David Mitchell is such a vibrant and unique author. I can’t wait to hunker down with this book! I read Cloud Atlas and loved it!
I also am going to bring a knitting project for the plane. I have to remember to pack my small scissors, or they will be confiscated by security!
Also, my trusty camera and video camera, which both happen to be in my iPhone!
Small sketch book and pencils to have a sketch journal.
Idea journal for random creative ideas that may pop in my head while absorbing the immense Hawaiian beauty!
Trying to get ready!
Getting ready and wow, am I excited!

I joined a Creative Color Challenge. This challenge is for the month of August. All participating are to create something each week with a different color and black and white. This week is yellow and here is my submission:
Yellow Gray
This is a photo manipulation of a VERY colorful pastel and watercolor I did in which I eliminated all colors but yellow, what do you think?
I am filled with excitement with the new items I will be featuring soon, one hint, a giveaway and something different than paintings will be involved!! A Hawaii blog week is coming, AND…..
