Creative People

Artist Henri Mattisse says it well with the words,
"Creative people are curious, flexible, persistent, and independent with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of play. "
Author Elizabeth Gilbert recalls how her father used to "pursue his curiosities." I think this is an excellent way to live. Keeping your eyes open, and your mind curious, and then following up on what you have noticed helps to maintain a creative life.
I have always been one to pursue my curiosities. In fact, I am probably guilty of pursuing too many things at once. But it is a fun way to live as you add to your bank of knowledge and your accumulation of skills.

Coloring-
This is one of my favorite things to do at night while watching TV. I have used several brands of colored pencils, including the more pricey Prismacolor brand. However, for my purposes I have recently fallen in love with Crayola Twistables. My favorite coloring book brand is Design Originals which I get on Amazon.
