Hello art lovers. Lately I have been painting more than doing stained glass. I wrote a children’s story that I hope to have published for my grandchild’s first birthday. Yes, it is a picturebook which I plan to self-publish. So, the art I’m doing at the moment will not get into my website for a while. I am oil painting some of the illustrations and doing some in watercolor. Speaking of watercolor, I started attending a group of watercolorists one day a week. It is always nice to see what other people are doing. On another vein, I joined Toastmasters a year ago and this week I’m giving another speech on creativity. My plan is to talk about my earliest awareness of my creativity, show some samples of my work, and have an exercise that I hope will spark creativity for the audience members. Until next time, happy spring. eija
