Yesterday was the first day of 2016. It was a day, where my motivation and energy was extremely low. So I decided to stay inside and paint on a canvas. I played a video about positive thinking and the MetaPhysical Secret-Law of Attraction while I painted. I needed to clear my mind and think about what I would like to work on this year. I am not really focused on loosing weight (I have been without trying) and I don't want to focus on saving money (because when you have student loans, a car payment and mortgage and credit bills to pay, haha that's funny, save money) I want to do better thinking about how I do spend what I have. But besides those typical goals, I was looking to go deeper.</div>

As I listened to this film, I noticed that I need to be more optimistic and go for higher goals. I tend to limit my goals. So the big goal is to publish an art book. I have been drawing pictures of animals and thought about putting it into an adult coloring book, since this is the rage in America right now. But I want to go further, I want to write a story and illustrate it. I thought about stories with having to take care of yourself (digging from my mental health counselor background) then I thought about a media and techniques book about art therapy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which one do I like the most: the drawings of animals and put them into a story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now I need to spend some money on a graphic computer to put this into production! I want to take this step, but something is still blocking me. As the film explains, It is myself that is blocking me.</div>

Back to the creating part of this blog, the painting I was making while thinking about my dream goals was this: I randomly placed colors of paint and placed them on the canvas. There was no sketch, no pre-thought about how this painting should look. It was all about expression.</div>

The canvas became too wet to add more, so I relaxed then later in the evening fell ill to a sinus cold. As I am posting this, my head is throbbing and all I want is a vanilla milkshake to soothe my throat. So the painting remains until I return to listen to more about the law of attraction videos that are on Youtube. </div>

The last day of 2015 was a day of calming and laziness. It was getting cold and freezing drizzle, so it makes leaving a warm colorful home not realistic. So I curled up in my blankets, put on HGTV programs and watched Caribbean homes. While my cats and dog slept. I decided I will retire in Barbados, blame the show for that! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been working on a new blanket, not sure why, I just felt like it. I decided to pick white and blue and gray as the yearn colors. Not sure why either. It just looked calming to me.</div>

I only know one stitch for crochet... a slip stitch. (however, I think this stitch is named something else, but I don't remember) I learned it from a nice elderly lady, when I worked at the nursing home, she said it is simple and that I will always remember how to do it) I will try to learn a new stitch sometime, but I really like the look of this stitch. It is close together and has a elegant and simple look to it. It reminds me of French knots in embroidery. </div>

The concept is about thoughts in a bubble. When stressors increase we go into a bubble and form thoughts that only the self can hear. When those thoughts are constantly cycling they wind up making bubbles of thoughts in your mind. Those thoughts can be good or bad. But once you nurture those thoughts, use care in those thoughts and let them deliver the "right" message, then growth begins. </div>

It is evening, so this painting will have to wait until tomorrow when there is more light. As always, I am never done with a painting in one day, it usually takes 2 or 3 months, depending how dedicated I am to work on it. After all, I have a job that keeps me exhausted.</div>

For the past several weeks I have the worst set-back with my health. I was constantly sick, not able to keep any food in my system and the pain in my body from RA inflammation was not helpful. <br />
<br />
I will be trying to get back on track with art making. "My life feels like a test, I didn't study for." I only drew two drawings...<br />

So since, I did not feel well, for over a month, I had energy for crochet because it consisted of laying on the sofa with little focus. I have been trying to finish this blanket for the past 5 years! yes 5 years. Every time I would start it, something in life disrupted me. So my goal this year is to "finish what I started." (something my mom would always tell me.)<br />
<br />
Luna the cat, loves this blanket, actually she loves the yarn more than anything. <br />

I work with many clients who are depressed and had major trauma. One of the art tasks that is most helpful, that combines positive thoughts and art, are <em><span style="color: #cc0000;">affirmation cards</span></em>. It is really simple, though it can appear to be difficult or may think you need to be an artist to make these. But really, it is simple.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">Materials needed:</span><br />
card stock, or playing cards<br />
paint<br />
markers-thin and thick<br />
oil pastels<br />
stamps-different ones<br />
ink pads in various colors for stamps<br />
paper-various colors<br />
tissue paper<br />
glue glitter<br />
glue<br />
ribbon<br />
gesso<br />

The only items needed are:<br />
<br />
Art journal<br />
acrylic paint<br />
brushes or anything that resembles something that can be used as a "brush"<br />
<br />
Each evening I painted onto a white page of the journal, using colors to express my day or just the mood I was experiencing at that time. instead of a typical paint brush, I used an old plastic card to swipe the paint across the paper. It adds a cool color mixture when the paint blends together. <br />

This is the final entry. After the entry dried, I used marker and crayon to add detail over the acrylic paint.</div>
<br />
<br />
The entries below will be done with that same process, however, I have been busy with "life" that this was pushed to the side this week. Between seeing clients and maintaining my own balance, my days were long at work, with many clients coming in, which is a positive thing, but it was just one of those weeks as a mental health therapist! Some clients used art therapy in the session, which was a nice change to the typical talk therapy session.<br />
<br />
Anyway, in time, I will show you the final of these acrylic painting journal entries:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the first full week of dedicating time to an art journal. Unfortunately because of my work schedule, I did not have the mental energy to make any art on a few days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below, this was done using a scribble drawing in crayon, then watercolor over it. I went back on it to add more detail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This one began with a magazine page that was painted with gesso, I dried it before I worked on. Then took markers and followed the shapes that was left after the gesso dried. Then used watercolor to paint in the areas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do you see an elephant? It must be my love of elephants, coming out externally! Such spiritual animals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Venus with Men" I guess this is about the Roman Goddess, who encompassed love, beauty, sex, fertility, prosperity and desire. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whatever or wherever my head was while making this art journal entry, I really like it. </div>

This art journal page was used with a fabric that can be painted on. I pasted it on the journal page, then took gesso pages of a magazine and pasted it over the fabric. After that was dried, I used a marker and scribbled shapes. Then splattered colors of acrylic paint onto the page and smeared it with a blank paper.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This art journal idea was a perfect idea, because of my week and how I had to use every counseling skill ever learned this week. Wow, is all I can really say. I am never amazed there is one more case that is unbelievable to the ears. I never thought to see a case as the one I experienced recently. Such a small percentage of psychotherapist ever see a client such as this. And here I am working with this case. I feel blessed and I feel tired from what my ears heard. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are so many remarkable people out there, the resilience is overwhelmingly amazing to witness. I am very proud of my clients. I am proud to be in this field, but let me to honest, I am beyond exhausted, my ears have heard enough and my brain is running to the max that it is finally slowing down (thanks to the sleep aid). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this art journal entry is the fatigue and exhaustion from a challenging week. The colors are deep and darker than what I use. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First I used bright colors, then I quickly used dark colors. Wow, doesn't that show you my emotion?! There is still a hidden of bright color, just trying to peek out. Oh my, how this art journal is showing my thoughts and emotion. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I found magazine words to convey a deep meaning. "Freedom of Personalization." That statement sums up this week working in the counseling field. Personalization is taking anything that happens and reflecting it upon yourself. How many clients said something this week, that I emotionally reacted to in my quiet and demure way? I never broke down and cried. But I quickly found someone to debrief this week. And this debriefing continues today. Only once did I come close to having tears shown, so I am thankful, it is the end of the week. I get to unwind and let go of these cases for a few days. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I began a new journal of art work. It will comprise of art done in a journal. These art pieces will range from various thoughts that will be drawn in less than 30 minutes. It will be my escape to unwind from my day. The journal may not be drawn in everyday, but that is the goal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Art journaling is not a new concept, however it has taken a new form. Some use standard art journals, others use books they find at various stores that is sold very cheap and some will make their own pages and bind it together by sewing the seams. Currently I am using a standard journal, since I had one already.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As for the media, it is whatever you want. My first entry used dry medias, crayon and marker. However, an entry can consist of magazine pictures or words, fabric, thread, newspaper, basically any mixed media </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly, an art journal is a way to have free expression. Anything goes. It is not necessarily a journal to sketch the next drawing or painting or sculpture. However, there could be great ideas for a formal painting by using an art journal concept.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This type of technique is used in art therapy. Since, that is my profession as well as being an artist, this comes natural to me to use this concept to explore more of my thoughts. </div>

Today, it was a humid day. It became a day of yoga, shopping for groceries and then staying indoors with the AC on. I watched one of my favorite movies, Serendipity and finished my drawing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Serendipity: let it find you, the effect by which one accidentally stumbles upon something truly wonderful, especially while looking for something entirely unrelated. Finding something good without looking for it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Interesting this topic surfaced. I woke up not in the greatest mood, feeling kind of like, "Do I have anyone that relates to me?" type of mood. I went to yoga, in a daze, due to constant need for rest, which I never get. The yoga instructor told us the focus of the day is: Let it go. And so I did, well I try, does that count as doing it. I always say it is. She said, let go of everything even the good feelings, just be, let go of what you thought your life was going to be. let me repeat that: <span style="background-color: lime; color: #cc0000;">let go of what you thought your life was going to be</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #eeeeee; color: black;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really needed that. I have been letting go of what I thought would have happened by now, instead focusing on what I need to do now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I need to do, is enjoy my time here. I need to remain open to the possibilities that I have even if I have no idea it will knock on my door. I need to continue believing and hoping, as that is the faith I have. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I need to finish my art in realistic amount of time! Which I was able to accomplish today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I focused on the butterfly series. And will start another very soon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was not a coincidence today was about letting go and just letting things stumble in front of me. It was not a coincidence that butterfly symbols are everywhere around me. It is hope that this butterfly will bring me closer to my true destiny. Until then I will let go and make art and just be!</div>

<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the last month, everyday I have seen a butterfly, whether it is outside or at a store or from an email attachment. My friends tell me this is starting to be freaky. I always had a spiritual connections, this time I feel even more connected. Everyday we have signs given to use, and the sign that is connecting to me is a butterfly.</div>

The butterfly is my inspiration for the next drawing. In fact I can see this as a series of drawings based on this lovely insect. </div>

I believe, there is a change happening for me. (About time as some would say.) But I also believe that the butterfly is my deceased mother from heaven saying "hi" to me and guiding me through this change, for all I know it could be the whole gang up there that I miss! I certainly need her, more than anyone would ever know.</div>

It has been a quiet weekend. It was the 4th of July, and normally there is food and some form of a get together, this year was more of a "don't feel like that." I spent the weekend outside, as that is the best place to think in a productive way. Being outside keeps me from crying, as my heart has been deeply hurt for too long. I couldn't help to think about a year ago, how so much changes in one year.</div>

One thing that my life taught me is to live for the day I am in, not for tomorrow. Although goals and dreams are good to have, I tend to plan too much and far too far away from now. </div>

I drove to the park with my dog for a very long walk to get away and sort out my confusing thoughts. This park is part for the Cleveland Metroparks, nearly in my backyard. While walking a white butterfly was flying near me, as if it was guiding me on my walk. I have been seeing butterflies consistently for the past 3 weeks. What is the spiritual meaning behind that for me? Change of some sort? </div>

Are you wondering what I thought about? I was thinking about love. How it must feel to be in love and the other person sharing that same feeling with you. Does it really exist? As I looked around and watched families and couples enjoying a picnic, I sat wondering if that will ever happen for me. If I could go back a year ago, I would say love does exist for me, but now?? Not sure where he is and unclear about why it ended. If I could have a wish upon a star to talk to him again, to understand, to reconnect...if only a wish would be granted. Told you I have been confused.</div>

Then later, I was walking my dog, and this fellow was still there. All I could imagine, are little feet, big feet, bike wheels and Lord knows what else stomping on him. "Don't worry my fellow nature friend, I will help you." I felt so sorry for him, is he sick, injured? So I did what a country girl does, I picked him up and walked him to my courtyard garden. He is right now there, he is fluttering his wings. Maybe saying, thank you for taking me to a garden!</div>

I am drawing Trees. It is truly time for nature in my life.</div>
It has been awhile since I had a graphite pencil in my hand. There's something about drawing that calms me. I am also using color pencils for added texture and depth. (I miss art school).<br />
Here are the pics...<br />

I sketched it quickly to get the image in my head out onto paper and in color. It will be painted on 24"x36" canvas. But first the canvas needs a few layers of gesso. The paint has been bought and the music is ready. Just need to sit in front of the canvas and get lost in my world.</p>
