AEDM day 25: more Volksbad

A million thanks for all of the thoughtful, helpful input I received on yesterday’s post. Your ideas have really helped invigorate me as I think about what to do next with those two paintings.

Today I did a little more work on this little painting, including inserting the tree. I like the way it’s coming along, but I don’t feel like it’s finished yet.

I also filled three sketchbook pages with writing today. One contained Gratitude and the other contained Accomplishments. The idea for writing out my accomplishments came from fellow AEDM participant A Feminist Wife. The gratitude idea was inspired by the latest Art Biz Blog newsletter, which talks about, as you may have guessed by now, gratitude. It was easy to fill the page with things I am grateful for. The third page contains a mixture of goals and wishes for 2009 – things I would like to accomplish in the next year, mostly. It might become a jumping-off point for more concrete goal-setting.
