Nicholas Wilton Free Workshop, post #6

The final pre-workshop countdown prompt: #1 What is the biggest, best possible dream of my art / life that I’m willing to say out loud?

My free-association biggest, best possible dream for spring 2024:

• Have fun!
• Get messy!
• Paint every day!
• Be open to surprise!
• Connect with others!
• Say hello to I don’t know!

• NOW SEE HERE!

---

With my first workshop exercise, I took Nicholas Wilton at his word to just play, to just keeping putting paint and marks on the page.

Felt great!

Plus, I made an image transfer for the first time since my like-wow college days. It allowed me to take the word LESSONS and infuse it into this piece.

   Lola! Thanks!!! I’m especially touched by your recognition of ‘this space of community and creativity that [I]’ve created here’—such a fabulous way to put words to my playspace which is EXACTLY that: a space of community and creativity : )
