Creative Living by Leada Wood


 "What is creative living? Any life that is driven more by curiosity than fear," brings to mind a really vibrant way of looking at life. Creative living is all about diving into things headfirst because you're just so curious, It's like turning every day into an adventure, finding inspiration in the big and small things around you.
 
Life itself becomes a canvas…paint it with joy! Every experience, every challenge, and every little moment becomes a stroke of paint on this canvas we call life. It's about being brave enough to follow your heart and your curiosities, being grateful and enjoying every minute.

It's not always easy choosing curiosity over fear, it means  stepping out of your comfort zone, trying new things, and sometimes, it means making mistakes. But that's the beauty of it! It's all about learning, growing, and making something meaningful and personal out of your journey.

So, creative (curious) living? It's not just for artists. It's for anyone who wants to live a life filled with passion, exploration, and, most importantly, a sense of wonder. It's about making your life your masterpiece, full of colors, adventures and stories that are uniquely yours.

All of these faces came about because I was curious about what my art supplies would do. None of them took over 5 minutes to create, I used 4x4 paper and began drawing a face from my imagination. The point is I began and I wasn’t afraid to create something!

“Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside of you, to make your soul grow.”
—Kurt Vonnegut

“I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it”
—Pablo Picasso
