Bowl of Soup


I have a nice and growing collection of artsy blogs I check regularly for a shot of creativity juice. Thank goodness for these voices regularly sending out the good vibes and the positive energy. What's above is from Keri Smith's Wish Jar Journal, which is always, always worth a visit.

Those of us who worry about being derivative might ponder the de Kooning quote. It's very consoling, isn't it? I love it--don't think I'll ever eat a bowl of soup again without thinking of this.

I often worry about derivative work, especially after taking a workshop with a quilter who has a very distinctive style. I think the answer is not to expect your own voice to come through until you've tried a lot of things. It will, eventually!
