When EVA first approached me about starting the blog, I never could have imagined the community that would be created. What started out as a fun way to paint more with accountability and encourage others to do the same soon turned into so much more. Through Paint Party Friday, we have made lifelong friendships with artists from all over the world. We have shared moments that extend far beyond the canvas... we've celebrated joys and supported each other through sorrows. It has been an honor to be the co-host of a party that has helped people connect more deeply through their art. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhnJ15kulDmBt8gp_3KwdL0g8ppggO0h-6FUPo_4fJCBvdKU6ktmDU05H_oo1EJ7A-sgj75t_ksfF3dh_A_U34n6w7V477aAF-t2TApLoOAfFOTnwCXr_ICSQ_TbSD5IBGJg7m74nYRWFm86k9zbZaiPmoSu1ynzC6ura09Z585z4DMJHZpYfwuSfXK=s525" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="394" data-original-width="525" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhnJ15kulDmBt8gp_3KwdL0g8ppggO0h-6FUPo_4fJCBvdKU6ktmDU05H_oo1EJ7A-sgj75t_ksfF3dh_A_U34n6w7V477aAF-t2TApLoOAfFOTnwCXr_ICSQ_TbSD5IBGJg7m74nYRWFm86k9zbZaiPmoSu1ynzC6ura09Z585z4DMJHZpYfwuSfXK=s16000" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">(A collage of some of my favorite PPF pieces from over the years.)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I would like to offer a great BIG thanks to all of the artists that have shared their art with us over the years. In addition to admiring all of your fabulous work, I have learned so much about bravery, authenticity, and vulnerability from all of you... It takes courage to put yourself out there, and our goal at PPF has always been to provide a safe space for you to share the art of your heart. My wish is that you continue to share your art and let others see all of the things that make you so special.

font-size: medium;">In April 2001, our mural and decorative painting business was still just a fledgling company... I was a young, wide-eyed dreamer who was only a few months away from getting married. When Zoë and I saw Julia’s inspiring (and close to our hearts) story, I had no doubts about what I wanted to to. I wanted to volunteer to paint a mural for her new reading center, so I immediately emailed Oprah... No second guessing, no hesitation, no questioning whether or not it was a crazy idea.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDtCEsPGgJyr4bGFBjKXr9qKJDsRLJuOs0wdb8ziAFTxgODXn5O8DdqoakDxe4Qa71b8RkzFPkxVe1kx2Wws9YK4pbNdxhsd_g_ybvhDzekWnERDjuPaU49LXG83dMNxA3P3Uqi8MY4ec/s550/4+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="550" data-original-width="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDtCEsPGgJyr4bGFBjKXr9qKJDsRLJuOs0wdb8ziAFTxgODXn5O8DdqoakDxe4Qa71b8RkzFPkxVe1kx2Wws9YK4pbNdxhsd_g_ybvhDzekWnERDjuPaU49LXG83dMNxA3P3Uqi8MY4ec/s16000/4+%25281%2529.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Looking back, there is a lot that I can learn from my younger self.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I was recently looking to see if there were any new art challenges to try this summer, and stumbled upon the #kidlitsummers hashtag... It is a fun (but relaxed) challenge that "draws on" summertime memories from childhood. It runs from June 1st - August 31st, but there aren't any strict deadlines or rules... It's perfect for my unpredictable summer schedule!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">This Instagram and Twitter based challenge only has 3 "rules":</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">1. Draw your favorite summer memories from being a kid.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">2. Post them online with the hashtag #kidlitsummers</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">3. Share images any day from June 1st - August 31st.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As an artist, I love to tackle projects that take me out of my comfort zone. So, when my sister asked if I would help her paint her car ("Major Tom"), I was very excited. If you know me, then it should be no surprise that I will paint on just about anything... Stevie's car was just an oddly shaped, mobile canvas. From far away, it looks like it's been tie-dyed, when you get up close it looks like a galaxy, and from every which way it looks like fun on wheels!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">In my last post I mentioned that I took part in the Illustrator Challenge at the New England SCBWI Conference. The theme of the challenge was Fairy Tale Mash-up, so I created <b>"Swinederella"</b>: a combination of <i>Cinderella</i>, The <i>Three Little Pigs</i>, and a dash of <i>Little Red Riding Hood</i>. It was created using pencil, watercolor, and Photoshop.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">It would be impossible to share everything, but here are my top takeaways from NESCBWI 2018...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> Nothing is more important that being good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Hard work develops talent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> Practice & push yourself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Learn from others, but don't compare yourself to them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> Explore, evolve, & try new things</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">and...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Don't be afraid to take risks!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">It was so much fun to get a glimpse into the life of Theodor Geisel...

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I wonder if May flowers will ever really arrive...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Even though my friend <a href="http://cmlk79.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Christine</a> has assured me that warmer weather will be coming soon, I thought I might have to take matters into my own hands...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Luckily, I remembered that I know how to make my own flowers!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">(I even created <a href="http://kristindudish.blogspot.com/2011/08/playing-with-papers-paper-flower.html" target="_blank">a tutorial</a> so you can too.)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Hopefully I'll see some flowers (or even the grass!) soon...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">But in the meantime, it's good to have a back-up plan!</span></div>
