The masthead of The Artella Daily Muse at www.artelladailymuse.com I have mentioned many times in this blog how much I enjoy the Artella web site at http://www.artellawordsandart.com/ and the Artella Daily Muse (now free to everyone) at http://www.artelladailymuse.com/ . I first stumbled on the site back in the spring of 2007 and have been addicted ever since. The entire world of Artella, which combines art and words (telling) is the first born “child” (Kai is her first-born son) of Marney Makridakis. Like many people, I’ve been lucky to have many heroes throughout my life, from my inspiring parents and family, from my many friends and mentors, teachers, writers, and on and on. In just the last 18 months, I have been accruing dozens and dozens of new heroes—all in the realm of creativity. Marney is one of the best. I just read an interview with her where she was asked what her studio looked like. She replied that it looked like it was colored outside the lines. Is that a wonderful image or what? And I think it is also a perfect description of how I see Marney—someone who paints life with broad brushstrokes, unafraid and generous. I want to live my life outside the lines!
