Prelude

This week begins the first installment of what I'll call the Everyday Art project.  This is going to be quite an adventure for me.  To start, I'm not one to comfortably show my creations to an audience, in fact I would be more than happy to store them in a box and have them discovered 100 years from now.  Plus, I'm no writer.  I'm sure you'll figure that out quickly.  I also suffer from the fear of the dreaded white page; I'm terribly immobilized by it.  For these reasons and many more this blog is completely out of my comfort zone.  But I feel that drastic measures need to be taken.  I have completely lost myself in my daily grind, my days pass by without a single thought to creating something, weeks pass without taking a photo, months pass without turning a page in my sketchbook.  It's time.  I created this project to motivate, inspire and capture the beauty that's around me.  My hope is that my paradigm shifts and artistic endeavors become more than just a past hobby.  I also hope that you enjoy a glimpse of something that inspires you too.  - l.o.d.
