Don't forget to daydream...

12/22/2021

Do you make time to daydream? Do you catch yourself daydreaming in the middle of the work day? I love to daydream--I find it restful and inspiring. Quite a few daydreams have led me to some of my most favorite art pieces. 
Especially in the dark winter months, daydreaming gets me through the doldrums. (Which is completely different than seasonal depression--but that's a chat for later). I find myself naturally slowing down in the winter months, and doing anything other than living under a pile of blankets seems like a herculean task. But daydreaming is always there, and eventually daydreaming leads to sketching, which leads to actual art making. 
I have been toying with the idea of making landscape prints, and the above sketches are just me thinking out loud. I may circle back and make a print, or it may just be a thought exercise. 
That's all for today, friends.
