After lots of work and anticipation, today's the day to Fall Fearless and Fly! Our first challenge is live on Artists in Blogland, with a list of the upcoming guest artists, the rules, and a photo of the wonderful prizes we have! Also, every time I post in response to the AIB challenge, I will have a giveaway for one of the people who comment on my blog. For challenge #1, it is this watercolor.Here is a sneak peek at my project for the first challenge, which is:
Headline Prompt: Inventing the Future: Where do you want to be 5, 10, 15 years from now. What's holding you back? What's propelling you forward? What do you need to do or stop doing to create your future?
Color Prompt: Warm colors (reds, oranges, pinks, yellows)
Quote Prompt: "The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time." Abraham Lincoln
To read about what this means to me and my process, and to see the fabulous work Carolyn Dube did for this challenge (along with a terrific video), visit Artists in Blogland.
We know a lot of issues are going to come up while you work on these
challenges. Already, they've come up for us. So we've created a private Facebook group where we can talk to one another and share work and stories. So please ask permission to join and we'll gladly say yes!
You have two weeks! We can't wait to see what you do.
Please leave a comment to be eligible for the watercolor, above.
For two chances to win the watercolor, follow me!
I will announce the winner on October 15, when I post in response to the next set of prompts in "Fall Fearless and Fly!"
