Sarah Mueller's Artworks Daily Blog August-30-2009
"'Painting' as a verb."

When I visited Sarah Mueller's blog today (Artworks Daily) I felt energized and inspired by her artful experiments and confident play with traditional and organic materials as she generously shared her perspective and journey with the blogosphere.
Art communicates and connects us all on a deeper level if we allow it. In an ego-less space we can see more than just with our eyes. I welcome more of this enriching and meaningful consciousness into my life. •

My favorite is #5 on ignoring the Inner Critic during the early stages of the creative process. Jill has such a gift at implanting wonderfully effective visuals, doesn't she? I'll never, ever, forget the "dragging some toilet paper on my shoe" bit when I'm editing. •
