An Award from Laketrees! Thanks

 

I received this lovely award from portrait artist Kim Barker who blogs on Laketrees.  She also mains the Top Artist’s Directory.  Check out the directory.  You might like to list your art blog there.

Here’s what Kim says about this award:

CreativityCreativity has been attributed variously to divine intervention, cognitive processes, the social environment, personality traits, and chance (“accident”, “serendipity”). It has been associated with genius, mental illness and humour. Some say it is a trait we are born with; others say it can be taught with the application of simple techniques.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Although popularly associated with art and literature, it is also an essential part of innovation and invention and is important in professions such as business, economics, architecture, industrial design, science and engineering.

Many of my blogger Artist friends are really creative people so I have decided to recognise their creativity (as defined above) by designing this award to give to the following Creative Bloggers:

I can’t believe that August is almost over!  I can’t really barely remember it beginning.  Oh my.

I want to special thank you to Emila Yusof of Emila’s Illustrated Blog for giving me two blog awards. It was very nice of her to think of me.

First, there is the Kreativ Blogger Award.  This is much appreciated because I’ve been feeling a little out of sorts about my blog lately.   It’s nice when a little validation comes to you at just the right time!

I’m going to pass this award along to the following folks because I love to read their blogs.  I may not always leave you comments, but I learn so much from their posts and am inspired by their work.

Arte y Pico Award from Paul’s Funky Stuff

Arte y Pico Award

It’s always wonderful to get recognition from fellow bloggers. A few weeks ago I got this award from Paul at Paul’s Funky Stuff. Paul is a swell guy who runs a very entertaining blog. He features odd pictures, videos, and stories on a variety of topics that would never occur to you. You should check him out.

Paul says The “Arte y Pico” award is given in recognition of support given, comments made and general all around blogging community spirit. How nice is that?

In accordance with the “Arte y Pico” guidelines, I’ve picked five blogs to award. So tough to narrow down but I have chosen these:

1. Gumby the Cat
2. Art & Clairvoyance
3. The Fearless Blog
4. Draw the Line
5. One Pink Goose

No matter what the rules say, no one is under any obligation to pass this along. I just wanted to feature some blogs that I enjoy.

The rest of the fine print…

The Rules thanks to http://arteypico.blogspot.com:

5) To show these rules.

I’ll more awards to pass along this week.

More Love! My First Award

I have found that the most rewarding thing about blogging is that you become acquainted with so many wonderful, engaging, and talented people. It’s way more fun than I expected.

I thought I would pass this award along to some blogs I love to visit:

Kris Cahill/Ronell/Laurelines/Ujwala/Juj/Doudy/Kim/Jafabrit/Felicity/

Wendy/Jana/Mrana/Ann/Diane Clancy

1. If you get tagged (and want to play along), write a post with links to blogs that you love,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.

As always, I’m so pleased you stopped by. I’ll be posting more drawings soon.
