This week I was featured in Janine Vangool’s All About You Newsletter. It’s a terrific opportunity to get the word out about The Creative Gathering.
Janine is a creative Super Star. She is the publisher, editor, & designer of Uppercase creative magazine. She has also published 17 books as well as The Pattern Journal for Surface Designers. On top of all of that, she is a fabulous pattern designer.
Thank you Janine! For all you do to inspire, encourage and showcase creatives.
We were a small bunch this round. Small but mighty! Many artists were unable to take part, but they did let me know, they hope to attend the next session. This concludes our 6th year of gathering together in the name of art and kinship.
457 pieces of art were created during the gathering. Woo Who! Our September total in 2022 was 713 pieces. One of the highest event totals we have had. More often, we produce between 600-700 pieces during the challenge.
Congratulations to everyone! You made time for yourself, time for your art. And if you only managed a few days, that still shows a strong determination. High five! Compliments as well, for supporting each other, encouraging & celebrating our individual strengths. Bravo!
Grab a snack, and plop yourself down in a comfortable chair.
Here is the gallery for September 2024!
Roughly 3 minutes & will loop at the end.
I didn’t stay too far from my usual subjects. Florals dominated the month. I did experiment with a few new techniques in watercolor and collage. I learned a lot. That is always fun.
One of the reasons I enjoy digital collage, is that I am always learning new techniques. I want to do something, make it look a certain way. And often times, I have to figure out just how to do it. Haha.
My favorites are the ones I had the most fun with. Some of you have already shared your favorite pieces with me. It is always interesting to know what others find appealing.
I count my September as a successful one. I picked up a brush, after many months of not painting. My desk is a mess, and I have ideas in mind for new work. I am looking forward to that. And also to the February 2025 session of the Gathering.
I will be adding some of these to my Society6 shop next week. I will let you know when they are available. I appreciate your interest in purchasing my art. Color me excited!
Thanks again friends, I really appreciate hearing from you.
Your support means a lot to me. God Bless!
