Blog Notes - March 15, 2022

St. Patrick's Day is almost upon us and spring follows a few days later. What a refreshing and colorful time of year. Surely an inspiration to create, whether we paint or write, draw or craft.

For me, I want to get some new designs going but am still reorganizing my studio. Perhaps after that and the dreaded taxes, I'll get to those fun new ideas that have been floating around my subconscious. What about you? What new desires has spring brought about for you?

This issue brings us a short but inspiring quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson and a spring pictorial to get those art tools working. Effie Carayannis brings us a delightfully fun mandala project that could become a family heirloom. Be sure to visit our sponsors to see what they may have new for Spring.

Happy Spring!

Smiles!
