Making art together is such an incredible experience. I forget how powerful and impactful it is to designate time to play next to someone. Like two toddlers side by side with our own magical powers. I recently had an experience with @christymjohnsonart where we played together while listening to drumming. No talking or visiting, just total consumption and immersion in our own art making. Each of us had our own media and we played side by side. After 45 minutes of uninterrupted, uncensored, unbiased play we wrote for 15 minutes in the exact same way. When our playing had quieted we shared what we created. And in the loveliest and most unexpected way we ended our brief journey with nothing more than a “thank you”.
Sunset rising, trees protecting, bison look like boulders, water flowing, leaves dancing
Clouds all in a row, grasslike sun rays, birds feet pitter patter
Hands clapping around the sun, blue orbs
Sunbursts in the sky, magenta streaks bursting like flowers on a hillside
Caterpillar crawling across the mountain top
Waves raining on the earth
Sandstone reaching toward the sky
Eyelashes batting open to rainbow colors sharing space
Birds flying together
Orderly
Sun fading in the grass
Purple tye-dyes floating, joining the pack
Wild animals hiding in the grass
Green shadows falling behind the mountains
Orange colors swirl, yellow moves around and around, lined up like marbles
Little sun all alone
Dark green mud shadows the earth
Blue sky rolls like waves of water
Vertical green lines cover the foreground
Brown hands circling with signs of peace.
