my creative world is starting to look like forrest gump's box of chocolates......you never really know what you're gonna get. i have so many things that i'd like to do and learn, but i have no idea which one i'd like to do first. inspiration overload is alive and well in my studio these days, and when i look ahead, i see many different paths in front of me.....and they're all enticing me to go down them. i've always had a yearning for learning, i just need to figure out how to do it a little at a time instead of trying to do it all at once.
as well as hope that forrest hasn't eaten all of those chocolates yet....
You forgot face painting! This is so cute Lori and you KNOW how I identify!!!
ReplyDeleteI have always loved your art. You alone are inspiration overflowing for others to be inspired. Happy Monday! :)
ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean. I have so many projects on the go and don't know which direction to go in sometimes, I want to do everything!!
ReplyDeleteI like your illo!
You are absolutely right -- so many directions to choose from. Maybe I will just flip a coin.
ReplyDeleteLove your image - reminds me of those spinner things in a game.
Your posts always make me smile!
Creative people are never bored, I say! You are an inspiration!

This is one of my favorite Blog posts of all time! I even read it three times before commenting. Sometimes there are so many things I want to do and to learn, that I feel so scattered...I can't do anything. It's hard to choose, when you have to choose for lack of time. Your doodle is my organizer for disorganized thoughts and dreams. Thank you very much!♥
ReplyDeleteIm exactly the same! There are soo many things i want to do, that i move on before i really accomplish the last thing - it's mad :o)
ReplyDeleteAtleast there's never a dull moment!
I love the illustration - it says it all (^_^)
Thankyou soo much for your sweet comment on my blog! Made me smile it did :o)

ReplyDeletei love that doodle! i feel the same way..i also need to learn to focus, otherwise i run around going "Iwanttodothatandthatandthatandthat" and then do nothing! hahaha.
ReplyDeletethank you for your incredibly sweet comment on my blog!
Oh I can relate so well to what you are describing!! If only the days weren't longer and I had unlimited energy!!
ReplyDeleteI totally know what you are saying. I have to rein myself in so much. Focus, focus, focus Jen!
ReplyDeleteCool doodles! I know what you mean, my art room is a mess! A little of this and a little of that, but nothing of any value. Just fun!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

may our desire to learn and try new things never end. there is so much amazing inspiration out there it's easy to want to try new things. i had to focus on what i enjoyed the most and what was calling me with a loud voice. i hope i can meet you someday my creative online friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Sweetie! You are soooo good at turning your thoughts and feelings into adorable pictures! I love this!!! Hugs, xoxo Paulette
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great? That there are so many things to learn and to do? I can never understand people who say "I was so bored I didn't know what to do".
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful, creative day today, lori! Enjoy your path, and thank you from the bottom of my little ♥.
ReplyDeleteWhat an exciting time for you. All of this creative energy will no doubt lead you towards many new and wonderful discoveries. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Options rock!
ReplyDeleteI love the directional arrows and the artwork is SO cute. It says it all. Where is that lettering arrow, though. All you need is another direction from helpful friends, right??? HA HA
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting your visual thoughts..
ReplyDeleteLori,I feel lost most of the time!
is hard to figure out where to go, but sooner or later a little path will appear :)
oh my goodness do i relate?!!!! a delightful illustration of this chocolate life!!
ReplyDeleteWhy am I not surprised that you've found yet another way to spotlight chocolate! You're my kinda gal :).
ReplyDelete(and thank you for your prayers for Melyssa)
A yearning for learning...I think that's the motto I've been living by and just never known how to put it into words! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'll follow you now...
