Thank you for the advice regarding how to choose a project. I was thinking of one I should do not one that brings the most joy. I will continue to think on it and feel into my choices. Thank you so much!
Yes, thanks for the reminder👍, I have so much going on and I have so many ideas but painting is my main passion so I will concentrate on that(most of the time, 🤪😬). Have a great day!
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful opening. This time does feel heavy. It does feel somewhat self-indulgent to be thinking of a possible creative project when I should be taking action. Should should should. I need these 100 days. I feel we all will benefit. <3
When I first read about the project I thought about oil painting or drawing, which is what i usually do or think regarding art. But the more I imagine myself enjoying it, the more I see myself with watercolours! And I'm thinking other options, and they're don't seem to fit in! Thank you for the advice, as Morgan said :)
Wonderful post, Lindsay! I find solace and comfort in my art, and when I really get into the flow of a drawing everything else feels more bearable, at least for awhile, and that I party why I create - because it makes me happy.
Thanks for a thoughtful beginning to this post and for the advice on what to pick as a project. I'd say seeing peoples art and the way that folk are choosing to express themselves through considered art and humour is vital to keeping on the road to better outcomes. Even in the bleakest present we can gather the fraying threads of gratitude and beauty and weave something to be hopeful about....or in my case make a huge mess and find joy in the process!
Making art will always require some degree of hope - for beauty, connection, healing, meaning. Hope is paramount, now and always. Thanks for leading this hopeful corner of life ❤️
my first thought was to create an ongoing vision board but in a book/journal container....of things I like/love/am drawn to/ light me up/ prompt an immediate YES! Images, quotes, a sentence in a novel, a snippet of overheard conversation. At almost 62 I feel like a completely different woman than I was in each of my previous decades....what is my style, what do I love or yearn for now? I almost dismissed this possibility as 'unsubstantial' but I keep returning to it & imagining it as a compass to my True North...and even future journal pages...or even permission for an adventure! Thanks for the inspiration to explore!
I was planning to draw or paint in a sketchbook daily for around 10 minutes per session. I know what too many choices can mean for me at times-indecision. I really want to be able to continue this project for the entire 100 days. Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m not sure of what colors to limit my palette to. I was planning on drawing with pen or pencil.
This is amazing. I am excited and can not wait to start. I was silly and I subscribed for I believe the last 3 months but we start at the end of this month but I can’t subscribe anymore ( every bit helps when college textbook are looming 😅 for your kid) I am so thankful we are still able to connect via other avenues and am about to see who can I go follow on IG to get inspiration.
I have decided I am going to “doodle” for my 100 days. I want to return to letting my self enjoy the flow of my pen just going where it wants and forming a dance on a page.
So much nowadays demands so much structure I will find a moment each day just to be, no pausing to see if it “looks” pretty, to ever think it’s not good enough. It will be mine. In a 100 days I will look back and see that for a 100 days I allowed myself that moment of escape of just pure enjoyment. ❤️

I love starting from a place of imagining yourself enjoying it, Eloisa! Thank you for sharing 💓

Agreed, Annabel! To the humor and the mess and the joy!
