The Creative Gathering, February 2025 Group Gallery

February proved that creativity reigns. This month’s gathering was plagued with technical issues. Facebook decide not to work equally, for everyone. Some were able to comment. Others were not. This had a huge impact on the group mood & momentum. Conversations are a huge part of the reason for gathering!

Still, we were able to produce over 500 works of art. High five to all! That is up over our September 2024 total of 457.

I call that a triumph of spirit. Congratulations on persevering!

Congratulations!
You did it.

The Gathering would be nothing,
without your talent and enthusiasm!

I’m so grateful to share this time with you!

Wishing you JOY & boundless creating!

The February 2025 Creative Gathering Collages

Days 16 – 30

For the second half of the gathering, I explored the desert landscape, minimal abstracts and florals. Along the way I moved from collage mixed with digital collage, to digital collage alone. Pattern remained a constant.

For the last three days of the month, I reworked old paintings. These are from 2015. Can they really be that old? I started a class, that reminds us to revisit old work, and see if we can adjust or update it, to use for different purposes, such as licensing.

Here are the originals. The last, was a tiny bookmark.

I learned a lot this month, and had fun along the way.
Surprisingly, I never hit that 3rd week, “I wish we were done.”, wall. Very nice!

I have to admit, I miss watercolor and I am anxious to get back to my brushes.

I apologize for not posting more often this month. Time did fly!
I didn’t even post to my Facebook page.

I’m so thankful for your interest and support! My art friends mean a lot to me!

We’ve reached the mid-point of the February 2025 edition of The Creative Gathering. High time I share what I have been up to.

I am working in mixed media collage. 4 x 4 inches. Day 14 is 8 x 8 inches. For the most part they include painted papers (some patterned), hand-drawn elements, digital patterns and digitally created elements.

The three heart designs are completely digital. They are designs for quilt blocks, I added faux stitching, to give an idea of what they might look like when finished.

I didn’t plan to, but I have fallen into a pattern of three’s. I’ll try to continue it for the rest of the month. As usual, I started out with a defined idea. But the art has veered into new directions. Let’s see where the next path leads!
