Creative Jumpstart



The obligations of modern life are manifold and often leave us with little real time for ourselves, Five minutes here and twenty minutes there, snatched in between daily obligations and work. Any real 'me time', is as precious as gold dust and when it comes down to it, we’re often out of puff, uninspired, or blocked creatively…

Taking time for ourselves, and tapping into what we really want is an important way of giving ourselves space to breathe, re-boot and energize. This is not only important for our personal well being, but also affects our relationships and every other area of our lives.

Creative Jumpstart is a FREE, 5-day, creative boost, delivered daily to your inbox. Each message contains a mini assignment and each day builds on the one before.

Whatever your artistic experience—whether you’re in need of a creative boost, are just starting out, or a seasoned professional—Creative Jumpstart is for you!



Sign up today and I look forward to seeing you on the course: Creative Jumpstart

It was further adapted (see below) and became a textile design for a young female sportswear line: Roxy—celebrating the pacific ocean and marine life.

Recline Feline

Recline Feline by Alison Day

#28: Nearing the end of a creative month—a painting a day.

Cat's are obliging subjects, who drape and pose, almost on cue.

Sitting Pretty by Alison Day

Autumn has arrived—green leaves turn to red, yellow and brown as they wither and conkers fall to the ground—

Boudoir Bear


Boudoir Bear by Alison Day

 

Apparently, Teddy used to growl, but his internals have long stopped working; now he sounds more like a rattle. Beige, balding in patches and one paw needs a mend—his patient orange eyes stare, revealing nothing.

Iron Dawn

Iron Dawn by Alison Day

A feature from the house of my childhood— a cast iron cockerel—now one of the first things I see each morning, as I open the back door to the garden.

Aromatic Green

Aromatic Green by Alison Day

I love growing herbs—the ease with which they transform from seed to a flourishing plant—pungent, spicy Basil is my favourite (along with coriander). #PaintingSeptember #Paintseptember

Operatic Fidelity

Operatic Fidelity by Alison Day

Paloma Faith portrayed as a Perfect Contradiction. No longer flesh and blood, but machine—mechanical Carmen Miranda.

Lady Cluster

Lady Cluster by Alison Day

A bunch of grapes from the small harvest collected from the vine in my garden. Sweet tasting and about to be made into grape jelly.
