The challenge:  Take the prompts and turn them into art of some sort, then share a picture in this thread.

1. getting started
2. sunlight or shadow
3. everyday objects
4. dwellings
5. circles
6. weathered beauty
7. vistas and views
8. treasure
9. symbols
10. simple pleasure
11. rhythm
12. water
13. comfort food
14. orange
15. eclipsed
16. solar
17. lunar
18. saving
19. flame
20. trees
21. adjusting
22. spice
23. brown
24. nine
25. steeped


You can do all of the prompts or some of them or one of them.  It's entirely your choice.  The goal is to give a starting place and a little nudge to find joy and art in our lives.

Your art can be
- photography
- cooking
- drawing
- painting
- gardening
- a mixture of the above
- or whatever medium makes your heart sing so long as you can share it here

We also need people to help cheer us on and keep the momentum going.

1. getting started

Love the idea for this and it is forcing me to spend the time trying to figure out how to use the site better after umpteen years reading it.   Hopefully I've done this right

2. sunlight or shadow

A day late and not done, but in the words of my mother in law, "dammit, she tried". And I went with moonlight & shadow because the moon has been beautiful the last few days
