Thank for the reminder to visit art galleries more often, especially my fabulous, local Abbott Hall Art Gallery!
I've recently become a Green Sketch Ambassador and would recommend fellow ambassador https://substack.com/@rachelgoddard. Our practice is all about enjoying the process of engaging with nature, rather than the resulting piece of art :-)
Love the sound of ‘green sketch ambassador’ … Rachel is an excellent recommendation - we’ve peeked at her work over the past year - a great reminder to peek more. And yes to galleries; I’ve learned to relax over the years, worrying less about knowing what I am looking at and just enjoying what I like.
Barrie, one of my favorites is Charlene Lutz. I recently acquired one of her original pieces and she is teaching watercolor classes for her paid subscribers. I love the folks who share great art with us but also love highlighting the contributions of those not as well known.
Helpful and inspiring, Barrie. Thank you. You seem to have many different incarnations going, and I can't sort them out. How about a post that lines up your different sections so we get the big picture? I am afraid I am missing something...
Glad you are enjoying the new weekly offering for ‘Encourage Meant’ … it makes up for the fact I am so random with my fiction at ‘Just Write, Right’. The ‘Feasts and Fables’ umbrella which the publications sit in is just our post-deli/cafe identity. That’s kind of it … but a good prompt to make sure it’s not confusing (maybe the fact that we have a non-Substack newsletter too crowds the issue). I’ll scratch something explanatory together. Thanks so much for wanting to know, Sharron!
Substack is a home for creatives of all kinds, and is filled with so many wonderful artists that I love. I have been enjoying the work of Brian Biggs here on Substack - his letter of Christmas cards was particularly awesome, but honestly, I love all his work. I have been exploring and collecting the beautiful creativity I find in Notes and sharing them in occasional celebrating creativity posts 💛✨ I look forward to more weekly celebrations

Oh thank you for the mention! Lovely article 🧡🧡
Aw, so happy you saw it … such a pleasure to celebrate your art, Felicity.
That’s so lovely of you 🧡 Hope Paris was amazing?
We loved it … maybe we’re getting better at not overplanning our visits, leaving space for things to just unfold.
Thank you so much for the mention. A brilliant post! 💛
Aw, thank you so much. It felt like it made sense to try a version of ‘Field Notes’ over here. A great way to celebrate others.

Thanks so much, Matt … you’re doing a brilliant job of celebrating so many folk. I’ll be sure to check out Charlene’s work.

Lovely. Thanks for the breadcrumb trail to Brian Biggs. We’ll check him out for sure. So much good stuff for us all to celebrate!
Thank you both very much for the mention, that is so kind of you! I love these midweek posts.
Our pleasure. And thank you for the encouragement. We’re already excited about next week’s edition.
