I have taken on a new mission to get fit and healthy lately and have been running since January. It's been a slow process, the wrong trainers for the way I run left me with rather bad shin pain, so I had to just go very very slow and easy, but keep going I did.
As usual, I find it impossible to embark on something without emerging myself totally in it, so have decided that the best way to deal with this aspect of my personality is to make art about it.
I've started exploring the colours and shapes I see when I'm out running, taking photographs on the move, and then abstracting them onto paper. I'm quite pleased with yesterdays endeavours.

how fun! I live it! Be careful with your shins. {:-Deb
ReplyDeleteI am being careful, out tonight with a local running group, I've not been for 2 weeks with them, so it'll be a good test of how well they are now. I've mainly been running on fields and its pavements tonight. Thanks Deb.
DeleteGood on you, and best of luck with achieving the goals you've set for yourself.

oh what a fantastic way to open yourself to be inspired ... and beautiful art!!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I love that you've found a way to connect something you don't love yet with something you do. I often see things when I'm out running to which I return later to photograph.
ReplyDeleteWhat perfect abstracts. I love the colors and flow of your work.
ReplyDeleteI admire your tenacity in sticking with running IN SPITE of shin splints!
You have more willpower than me, brave girl!
Thanks for linking to Alphabe-Thursday this week.
I enjoyed seeing your translation of your routes.
