Call them circles, call them dots, use a hole punch, use a template, draw them, scribble them, paint them, collage them. This is all about circles and how we make use of them.
Today was a live Creative Sprint with my daughter and another artist, on Instagram. They were chatting and working off of a prompt given on CreativeSprint on Wednesday. The prompt was to choose a book near you, or randomly, and let that guide you. I chose the book I'm reading for a book club and randomly pick a phrase. I was OH NO what can I do with that but I was hoping to have something come to me. And it did today, while watching the LIVE CreativeSprint. Here's the book and Phrase: El Prisoniero del Cielto by Zafon and the random phrase from page169 "...no vamos a atravesar las paredes ni a comernos los barrotes." One thing I knew is that I didn't want to do a literal/illustrative piece. I'm happy with the results. I'll be sending the postcard to Postcards for Democracy 8760 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069-2206 They'll be doing a digital exhibit and eventually an actual exhibit. This is in support of the USPS. Send a postcard if you feel so inclined.
And Check out CreativeSprint if you're on Instagram.
Had a quiet morning - well they all are sort of, these days, aren't they? Spent the time in my studio altering old postcards found when re-organizing my work table yesterday.
I love this group. I love seeing all the different circles and dots. They make me smile, and don't we need smiles these days? I may add some more words to these random poems. Or not. I"ll let them lay on my table a day or two.
Love your randoml poems.Like the hint nevpqrtcularly, Ithink because I find the the refrain of the thing of it is peculiar .Have to look into where did this phrase come from .
You know what I miss on this platform? An instant LIKE button! I was scrolling through CIRCLES and saw so many wonderful posts and wanted to just like like like. Thanks to all of you for posting these and making me smile and be thankful that we have a circle of people willing to take time to showing us your circles.

Lately Weather phenomena seem to be in the air. Also, the circles have attached themselves to a PIcasso sculture! Oh, no!
