Canvas to the Imagination

Recipe for Plum Cake from Anne Mann.

Good things
- sending off my registration form for an artist retreat, Artfest, in 2009
- meeting my weekly artistic goals of collaging and self portrait shooting
- an exhilarating yet terrifying ride on a scooter around Bowen Island
- having a mutually inspiring talk with an artist on Bowen who also works with collage and photography
- working on a shot I hope will get accepted into a group show later this fall in Portland

Not-so-good things
- continuing to procrastinate over a few too many things related to my personal work
- feeling the distance between myself and friends I thought were close ones
- not quite being able to get over the negative interpretations
- feeling really out of shape
- worrying about money (which is like the stupidest thing in the world…)

Week 17 – Fresh Flowers, from the 52 weeks self portrait series.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Resilience is a quality that allows you to rise above setbacks and find resources in unexpected places. It’s a willful instinct to seek the higher ground and a bigger vision. It’s intensely practical, because it shushes the nagging voices in your head that make negative interpretations of your experience, thereby allowing you to act courageously in your own best interests. This is Resilience Week for you, Leo. Call on your dormant reserves.
