Taking your “Inspirational Drawing” class now, I am really enjoying the freedom and inspiration of doodling all over to see what the imagination and unconscious has to offer. The use of fabric enhances the process and adds wonderful texture. Will have to try this.

Thanks Päivi – once again- for your inspring ideas! After joining your web course I have been drawing a great deal. And in addition added Haiku-poems into my pages. Yes, I can draw!

I love so many things about you and your art. You are a human’s Human. The comment about the garden needing attention and yet you just sit touches the place in all of us where we are not on top of our chores. This can become an excuse not to do our art, which feeds us. Instead you incorporated the emotion and beauty came forth!
Thank you. I will look at the moment with compassion for myself and go with the overwhelming desire to feed my soul with art!

Oh Paivi, this is a beautiful spread but I was thinking about your wildly growing garden. Sit back and relax, just let it do its thing – it is making wonderful detailed “marks” on the whole scene and it is going “further” like a drawing. Once it is finished to your liking, go in and begin cleaning it up and enhancing parts. Some of my favorite things to see are the tiny wild “weeds” with even tinier blossoms that only the insects know about but we rarely stop to see. Your garden is a living Paivi drawing just very busy doing what it does best – growing wildly. There will be time once you have enjoyed the messy part. Patience! LOL, I’m giving you back what you have taught me.
