December Gifts . . .

TIP OF THE MONTH

I’m eager to share inspiration for this month of December! Let’s continue this conversation about Metaphors in Art. This is one of the ideas that I like to emphasize  using the SMART process too. This month we play with the concept of gifts.

After I created, and observed this painting, I noticed things about gifts. It struck me how the magic of gifts are both in the giving and receiving. In the movement from inside to outside and from outside to inside.

The graphic part of this painting reminded me of wrapping paper. It made me ponder about the excitement of gifts and that perhaps 50% of the gift experience is actually in the presentation of it. The wrapping. Whether this is in the form of ribbons or hand made wrapping paper.

This lead me to the next stream of thought of a creative project. How fun is it to take the opportunity to make tons of paintings on a thin paper; newsprint, newspaper, old wrapping paper. We can use left over paints, try new things out, create collages and such. In the end we get to wrap gifts in them or make holiday cards. Yay!

This is a super way to recycle paintings too! Your friends will be delighted!

Those are my short thoughts to spark up inspiration on the metaphor of gifts. As a metaphor, there are no limits as to how these nuggets might apply to your work. Do check out the video above.

Curious about what could be expected about working with me in a private coaching session? You see, I combine Art Therapy (I am a registered Art Therapist) and Coaching (I am a fully certified Coach) with clients on a range of  topics in order to inspire the YOU to accelerate to new levels at work and personal life.
