Find your MAP to your Habits May 30, 2023 | By Maria Benzo (@mvbenzo)

Hi Colleen, I really want to get back into watercolor again and have entered a calendar event (MAP) in my MSS daily. That time is for me to play with paints and be creative. I purchased a nice sketchpad and sometimes just draw, continue working on a painting I've already started, or add a mindful thought. The big difference from before it that I don't feel I need to finish....just do a 'piece'. I find that I really look forward to that daily.

@cathypeirson Hi Cathy. I'm glad you are finding creative time helpful in your life. I am all for that! I am a watercolorist myself and also paint in oil and making artwork lets me connect the things in my life and understand their meaning if I ask myself why I wanted to paint something specific. If you get serious about painting, there is the Scottsdale Artist School near you where you can take workshops. They do have some good and well known artists who come in to teach there.
