A friend of mine recently shared a post on Facebook about flooding the streets with art on Black Friday. “That sounds fun”, I thought. So today I packaged up a few things, two small originals and some cards, then went about placing art here and there downtown.
Black Friday special–FREE art!
I know I was just one of hundreds of artists all over who participated in spreading art and beauty today. I can only hope that the people who found free art, enjoy the art as much as we/I enjoyed putting art out to be found. Next year I’ll be more prepared. I’m already looking forward to doing it again and hopefully, I can get some of my friends to join me. But since it was so much fun, you never know, possibly a random piece of art will be randomly dropped on a random day and you may randomly find it–
We all have gifts to give and we don’t have to wait for a specific day or be organized to do it. Let’s be random and spread joy, love and beauty spontaneously. It’s fun 😄!
I am a curious artist who enjoys stimulating dialogue, exploring perspective and relationship in all things art, life (human and animal kingdom alike) and my beliefs...I avoid politics when possible.
A little background on this blog--I'd been going to an art group for Christians called The Responding and a few months in I decided to respond--yep, I'm a slow one to respond. About the same time my husband wanted me to illustrate some of his children's poetry, which is far from my style. I was praying about it and woke up with the idea to start doodling responses to my morning devotions and hopefully I'd be able to develop a style that could work for poetry. I decided to doodle through My Utmost for His Highest. At first I started with just doodles, then I decided to add a brief thought response on the back of the card. Then one day I thought, "Why keep these to myself, I'll start a Facebook photo page. Eventually it became this blog.
What's planned for the future? When I've doodled through the whole book I plan to do a physical show with them. I will also choose some to develop further and the remainder I will. sell them. All proceeds will go to relieve abuse of all kinds. Currently I'm exploring ministries and orginizations that have credible backgrounds to invest in. More details will be made available as I continue on with this venture. I'm trusting God to lead me.

What a lovely idea! That’s something I could introduce around here to. The Night of the Arts in early August could be a great time, still warm and summery. A beautiful way to spread joy AND create interest 🙂

Most definitely. That would be a perfect time.
