I am thinking about residences and grants and art communities. Women’s Studio Workshop has lots of opportunities. And for the last two years I have missed the deadlines,  so now is the time to begin the application process. Mira’s List is a great source of information about grants and things.  So I just could pick one opportunity and seek it out.

Today I have long list of things that I should do.  I started with breakfast, morning pages, shower and such.  Then I went out for a walk.  I was so grateful that I did it.  With in the first few steps I knew it was a gift to myself. It was a gentle kindness.  I said,  I have to remember this feeling when I am reluctant to go out for my next walk.  I get ideas, hopes, dreams, possibilties when I gently walk.  Then I did Christmas cards and had to say Enough.  I am hopeful for this new year.  Enjoy today.

Check out the great information that is being shared each sunday at the altered page.

Today I did a bit of research on the white line color woodblock print, also know as the Provincetown Print. I was prompted to do this research because there is a class being offered at the NHIA in the spring.  The article in the link above has a great set of instructions.  I think I will give it a try. Enjoy!
