In addition to posting on my website, I am planning to send out occasional posts by email to all my creative friends who make marks on paper or canvas or on other sorts of materials; or those who make music, sing, sew or appreciate all creativity! I am no longer on Facebook, but I still want to let you know what is happening in my corner of the art world.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_5518\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5518\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bsolbergart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A994A40-4D51-48DB-9480-4171023FBF7E_1_201_a.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5518\" title=\"Little Snow Bird\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bsolbergart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A994A40-4D51-48DB-9480-4171023FBF7E_1_201_a-300x211.jpeg\" alt=\"Little Snow Bird\" width=\"450\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bsolbergart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A994A40-4D51-48DB-9480-4171023FBF7E_1_201_a-300x211.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.bsolbergart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A994A40-4D51-48DB-9480-4171023FBF7E_1_201_a-1024x721.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bsolbergart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A994A40-4D51-48DB-9480-4171023FBF7E_1_201_a-768x540.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bsolbergart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1A994A40-4D51-48DB-9480-4171023FBF7E_1_201_a.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5518\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Little Snow Bird<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>First of all, let\u2019s hope 2022 will be a better year for all of us. I was on a creative hiatus for much of 2020, producing only a limited amount of art. Unlike some of my artist friends who just dove in and kept working, I found that I could not have enough piece of mind to concentrate on my work because of the stress from the year\u2019s events. Since then, I have gradually found my way back to drawing, painting, collage and print-making. This image of the \u201cLittle Snow Bird,\u201d 5\u201d x 7,\u201d printed by hand, is my new year\u2019s greeting to you.<\/p><p>One of the things I enjoy doing during the winter is watching the small flocks of birds who occasionally migrate through foraging for food, either for plant seeds on the ground or balancing crazily on a dried zinnia stalk feasting on its seed head. That\u2019s another good reason for not cleaning up the flower beds until spring! Hence, the inspiration for this small print.<\/p><p>I have always thought that anyone can learn to draw or be creative, which is why I like teaching studio classes to small groups. I hope to offer classes again once the pandemic loosens its grip. There are many ways to be creative in life other than drawing or painting. A good article I found on NPR recently entitled, <a title=\"Making Art is Good for Your Health, Here's How to Start a Habit\" href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2019\/12\/30\/792439555\/making-art-is-good-for-your-health-heres-how-to-start-a-habit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Making Art is Good for Your Health, Here&#8217;s How to Start a Habit&#8221;<\/a>. You may be inspired by reading it.<\/p><p>In closing, here are two separate quotes about the creative process that I hope you enjoy:<\/p><p><em>\u201cThe person who makes things is a sign of hope.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\u00a0 &#8212; Corita Kent, artist<\/p><p><em>\u201cWhen I paint, everything else just goes poof.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\u00a0 &#8212; Reaction from my seven-year-old great-nephew, Kayden, when painting with watercolors during a visit to my studio.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
