The New Creative Artist

Today I had to kill a lot of time while waiting for Eric to attend his Yearbook workshop in Lexington. Little kids are not allowed at the workshop, so I was not allowed either. We went to several stores until I ran out of ideas. So we went to Books A Million and I let the Littles play with the train set for an hour while I looked at art books.

I found one I really really wanted to buy, but it was $30, I have already bought 2 art books this week, I am getting ready to take a trip to Georgia, and anyway I had just bought rugs at TJ Maxx. I showed a lot of restraint and did not buy. I wrote down the author and title and decided I would look on eBay. They do have it some cheaper there, but I am going to wait. Oh, the book is called The New Creative Artist, by Nita Leland.

I got to thinking she might have a website, and by-golly she has several: nitaleland.com and a http://nitaleland.blogspot.com/ too. I am enjoying looking at everything. Her book was so neat and I can't wait to try collages and some of the other things. She writes, "You dream of being an artist. You are an artist. Begin."
