Today didn’t provide a lot of opportunity for me for giving. Maybe I wasn’t looking hard enough. We donated to the food bank at the grocery store today. I bought a friend tea, but she bought last time. Then we made art together… which was glorious fun.

Collaborative drawing… we pooped out before we got to finish it though, so there is more art in the future to be found. Today I was gifted to, she gave me some of the art supplies she’s not using. I was also given some photos she took which are really good, and very inspiring. I’m going to put a couple up in my studio. I like being inspired by other peoples work.

So, I don’t know how much I gave, but I certainly received today. Art supplies, and lots of black pens, which I love, black markers are art supply sex. You can’t have too many of them. Power and control lives in the black marker.

More importantly though she gave me inspiration, ideas, got me making marks. She contributed to my studio, which is just taking form. It’s kind of like midwifery… the studio is like a womb from which the things I create are going to emerge. She helped support and nourish my creative womb… lol. Art midwife – thank you.

My head is in floaty art space.
