Tonight at WIND we painted with Pastel Chalks…from a women who was an artist. Her daughter shared her with us tonight…as well as her artist tools. I hope her spirit was delighted to see them out of the box and being used by women of WIND.
What was very interesting to me, is that my daughters caught on to how I behaved in a group doing art. I was rude. I was not able to do both. I would listen and then get distracted by art….or pick up bits and pieces of the conversation. Very interesting to hear about myself. If you would have asked me, I was paying attention all ways.
Instead, I was swinging from right to left brain….unbeknownst to me. I wonder if this is how a child feels in school? I will have to stop creating to listen. Sorry for anyone who was left hanging mid story. I slipped into my picture…

Each person's art was so interesting to see. I love how we just began with blank white a table full of colors and we drew so many different things.

Thanks girls for drawing with Me!
I will ponder how I can get so easily distracted, how it is now hard for me to do two things at once. Usually, I am alone playing with my art. Group Art is something I haven't done since High School Art Class.
The next time we meet, we will once again play with Pastels…and other mediums that will accent them. My daughter will see what other ideas would be complimentary. I will keep my eye open for artful things!
