What If?

Did you know that asking questions increases your creativity?  Questions engage our curiousity which is vital to creativity.  If I am honest, I am a person who does not like change all that much.  I think it is great to be satisfied but I also realize that making changes can be a good thing.  So today as I used my watercolor pencils I kept asking myself, "What if?"  What if I used this color instead of that one?  What if I added more water and let it puddle?  What if I stopped now?  What if I kept going even though I like the way it looks? What if?  I realize I need to push myself more especially since I've dedicated this month to playing with my art. So the question, "What if?"  is going to be part of my every day language from now on.

I'm just curious.  Are you a person who changes often?  Do you experiment with your art?  Do you try new things all of the time?  I'd really like to know.

Each Friday I take time to reflect upon what I am grateful for.  This week I have had wonderful opportunities to collaborate with people I really admire.  It is so nice to be able to work with people who are passionate about what they are doing and share that passion with me.  Julie Jordan Scott from Julie Unplugged shared this quote with me today.  "For all that has been, thanks.  For all that will be, YES."  Dag Hammerskjold.  I think that is a perfect way to express exactly how I feel today.
