What is Creativity Anyway? Ex Art Teacher has Thoughts. How can you be more artistic?

[@olivecoleman3814]

I goto an art group on a Wednesday every week from September to May and we sometimes do more talking than painting. We talk about everything and anything. The girls (retired women) and one Man (Retired) have a fab time. They tell me that it is the best morning of the week. They can relax and have a coffee and scone in the middle. Love it. I'm trying to encourage them to do inktober this year. They say they can't draw but I know they can. Happy Painting.

That sounds wonderful. I do like Inktober... and they don't need to draw do they?! :) I love a bit of ink markmaking :)

❤❤❤❤ What a lovely thing to do! I really imagined your story at the end !! 😂😂😂 It made me giggle! Thank you ! What a beautiful person you are! ❤❤❤

Loved this video! It was very interesting. I watch your art videos as well. As a matter of fact, you are the reason I have started painting. Never thought I would ever paint or draw, but I really enjoy the abstract concept. Don't know if I will ever be good at it, but I guess just enjoying it is the main thing. So...thank you! BTW-I live very near Milwaukee, Wisconsin and our weather today is lovely! The sun is out, the temperature is perfect and there is a wonderful breeze. Ta-ra!!!

Oh wow.. what a lovely comment, I’m so pleased 🥰 and sunshine with a soft breeze is perfect ☀️😊

I just signed up for a beginner class on Tunisian crocheting. I am excited to try something new with people I don't know in a place I'm not familiar with.

[@CateField]

That’s sounds wonderful! Very exciting. 😊

What a delightful watch/listen ❤ Its got me thinking that perhaps i need to start my own local art group. I haven't found anything like it in my own area, its all paint and sip, and I miss the connection of talking to people and playing. Food for thought.

[@CateField]

Thank you 🙏 this sounds like a great idea… I would definitely recommend setting up your own group. 🥰

You have been a big encouragement to me. I was doing your challenge last spring and thoroughly enjoyed it. But then my husband became ill and I have been hyper focused on him..I believe it’s time to pick up where I left off. Thank you ❤

[@CateField]

I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's illness. I really hope things are getting better. We have to give ourselves time to heal, and then, when we are ready, we can start again. Much love to you both Cate x

That was great Cate. I'd love to see those Victorian knitting patterns. I'm wondering (it's the day for it after all 😂) if you will continue with your twice weekly art tutorials as well as this?

[@CateField]

Thank you. Yes, I will definitely continue with Monday and Friday tutorials 🥰 I love doing them and have so many ideas!!
