Ardith Goodwin Journal Art Session

Ardith Goodwin Journal Art Session - GAHHHH

Due to the pandemic and shelter-at-home order in her community, Ardith Goodwin and another artist decided to offer short (and free) art journal video sessions. I've really enjoyed them, and found the one I reviewed tonight to be very good.

That lesson (GAHHH) is to work with drawing/painting emotion allowing your work not to look good or pretty...and essentially giving yourself permission to play. So, I did.

This morning, however, I did a Google image search for my name and found my photo linked to a totally different blog than my own! It is possible I didn't mark my file with the online photo-hosting site as private, but I didn't expect this to happen. I don't know whether marking it private would have actually averted the situation, but I'm not waiting to find out.
