30+ Days of Art Journaling?

 
 

I was cleaning some computer files and came across this video of two of my journals in old books. So the question is this...what happens if you journal for 30 days in a row? or 60? or 90? This right here is what happens.

You begin to see a story emerge, your truths and concerns and challenges. Not only in your life but in your art too. Yeah but what's it for? It's for you....just for you....ALL for you. This is creation for yourself with no worries over outcome, a container for you to just be you. Slap it down on the page...use it as a container and learn from it...or not lol. Pretty, ugly, sad, happy, angry, questioning.....come as you are to this place. Is this so called "fine art"? No. (although truthfully I don't even know what is fine art so there's that) Is this my art that is precious? YES. There is something about loving up on what IS in your art and your life too....giving yourself grace....that changes the world. And that is priceless, at least for me...especially now.

They say anything you do for 30 days becomes a habit. I know that's true. I hope you'll join me in creating a habit for yourself.

Fonda’s new workshop, Slapdash starts on the 29th of May.

Galia Alena

I’m a visual poet working in just about any medium I can lay my hands on although I am a professionally trained photographer and a so called “self-taught” artist (of course there have been many teachers on that path). I’m in love with the creative process. I’m a beauty unveiler, light huntress, moment caresser and visionary poetess. Ultimately, all of my work is about helping people peel back the layers to experience the intense beauty of each moment allowing access to both their intuitive wisdom and a deeper connection to spirit and self. (Because the beauty of this life cracks our hearts open and it is through the cracks that light can flow both in and out and connect us back to our divine selves) That is what I do and I do it through photography, art, journaling and teaching. I live in the insanely beautiful Blue Mountains, just shy of Sydney, with my family, our cat and all the winged ones who frequent our garden. Each day here is a wondrous delight of tiny miracles through either the glorious light or magical mists. I would love to work with you, have a look around and see where you are called... "Where I create, there I am true." Rilke
