Chapter 1: Half way there

Ta Daaaaaa! First Sunday after the launch. We are half way through Chapter 1.

How´s the process coming?

Have you showed up for your daily pages? Notice how I said daily and not morning? Cutting myself and some other non morning persons some slack. :D On Wednesdays my Wishcasting post for Jamie Ridler´s question of the week takes precedence and then the day gets crazy as usual. :) Saturdays ... well, you know ... lol! Rest of the week: I make breakfast and get everybody out of the door by 7.22AM (after the 7.20 AM traffic jam and before the 7.30 AM one) and then I get to work on my pages.

Artist´s date? Mine was chosen but not done. No worries, I have several planned for next week.

Your turn now, if you feel so inclined you might share what you´ve done so far.

How to share with MrLinky: you type in your name in the first box (the way you´d introduce yourself) and then the url/link to your post (not your whole blog url) where you share your work with the current chapter. When you come back next week your name will likely automatically be entered but you need to redo or paste over the url/link with your new post's address.

Before you go... As this is an artist´s project I want to share what my favourite artists are doing.

Let me introduce to you: Victoria Pettella. You can see her fabulous paintings at Enchanting The Invisible.

I asked her for permission to copy part of what she says in her About page:

I am in love with painting..the process..the journey..the world it opens and unveils before me. For me, painting brings me to life..something awakens within me..I must create... and yet the painting.. Already Knows the Way..directing me. It is the creator..and the act of creating is like an Intuitive Adventure unfolding before me.

All paintings are done in Acrylics, on canvas, or board. I paint in all styles and subjects, I truly just allow the painting to guide the piece.

Color is like music to me..I feel it, hear it, see it's energy...I experience it and sense it's vibratory spirit in everything! It simply feels natural to me to experience the world with kaleidescope glasses! So, I love color-expression ..I also love myth, metaphor and symbolism...and our own "inner mythologies" that we carry within and Universally. I tend to weave between the real and fantasy..I like things that almost appear real..but not quite..I like the Inbetween Realm.

I love when people share how the painting speaks to them..what it connects them to.....I learn even more through their words and feelings about the piece! I love if a painting can conjure an energy or feeling/emotion just by looking at it..or if it can invoke the inner spirit within someone..stir their vision and ignite insights.

When I paint..I am lost inside time and space..and the magic of it all..everything feels spherical and in motion..this space feels full of life.Whereas when I draw ..the world feels flat...I tend to be in "thinking mode"..captured in the mind.. and I tend to draw intricately and realistically...time is slower....I don't enjoy it as much...but when I paint, I feel free..I feel such release..I come to life... painting is pure freedom for me...no boundaries..no rules..and I love that way of being..feeling and creating.

My paintings are what happens..when I answer the Invisible
