Amusing your muse
Painter Nicholas Wilton offered a freebie Breadcrumb Challenge this week that I found energizing (no need to be a painter). The five Zoom sessions were aimed at finding your way back to what you love. What amuses your muse? What colors make you happy? What objects evoke memories? The freebie recordings (the link is below) will stay on his YouTube channel for a while. If you’re feeling stale or stuck, have a look. Did I mention it was free? He grooms you for his longer “Spark” course but that’s on you. Maybe it’s the impending change in seasons that spawned this week's creativity. Links usually organize around a theme. Or maybe it’s just my quirky brain that searches for a pattern. Whatever. Here’s what grabbed my eye and go follow some breadcrumbs.
