A to Z Blog Challenge: V is for...

 Variety

Variety is the spice of life, but for someone who gets bored quickly, variety in art practice is essential. So I draw, paint (in a variety of mediums), collage, print, and do mixed media work in a variety of styles too.

The coffee grinder is a realistic drawing, while Notes is an abstract/impressionistic painting done in oil. Sun printing is fun, and I still want to do cyanotype sun printing. I used one of the sun printed butterflies in the collage image of post R (for Recycle).

The same goes for my writing: I write novels and short stories, in different genres from contemporary to science fiction, and fantasy. And also mixed them up, especially in the new Lords of the High Council sub-series which is a mix of action, supernatural, fantasy, science fiction, religion and romance. (Note: my books are adults only)

How do you add variety to your creative activities?

I will have a CreativeLife post on Sunday, and I will be back on with the Letter W on Monday. Until then!
