The Quiet Side
Exploring the unseen benefits of creative focus.
I am very happy to introduce my new series, reflecting on the Quiet Side of taking a few moments to yourself, finding creative inspiration and allowing a little bit of stillness into your day.
What draws me to sharing Zentangle isn’t the artwork at the end – it is the “how we get there” that I love. The method is purposeful in its ability to help you relax and be in the moment. As a result of the process, a beautiful piece of art is created.
I encourage you to give regular, quiet, creative time a try. Learning a new art form like Zentangle is a practice. Your results each day won’t always be perfect – but you will receive benefits from exploring creativity on a regular basis and spending the time to focus and quiet your mind.
Likes and shares are common on my posts that include images and completed tiles – its a little bit harder to draw attention to the benefits of slowing down, stillness or calm. What I hope you get from this series is inspiration to find time to get offline, pick up a pen, and perhaps try a few of the exercises I include. And I hope that starts you on a path to enjoying the benefits that a regular practice of focused creativity can bring.
Sign up for my blog directly to allow yourself to get the inspiration and some fun exercises right to your inbox. Expect an issue of The Quiet Side about every two weeks throughout the year.
Happy 2017
