Making tracks

Tracks. Gracie and I made tracks today and took a new walking route. We saw these on the way. It was a beautiful morning for a walk.

In a couple of days, we will be making tracks for Cavalier for the bid anniversary celebration.

I was thinking about it. What kind of tracks do we leave behind? As an artist, would my pieces be considered tracks that I leave behind? Do I make them for something to be left behind or is it a moment that I am searching for in the process of creating? I don't think we want to be forgotten but remembered. I want to know that what I did and felt about mattered. That is touched lives in perhaps not a grand way but in a good way. In a positive way. A way that makes you feel better about yourself or something that you love.

One thing I love to do is work with my hands. I do get tired of too much repetition so I know I wouldn't enjoy making multiples of the same thing. How boring. I feel that once you make something, there is something you can change on it to make it better the next time, to make it more interesting.

So today, I either would like to work on my hand appliqued wall hanging for above my bed, or paint on some canvas, or even alter a pair of pants that are too big (yeah!). It helps to center me when I work with my hands.
