Visionary Women "Suffering Artist" Day

Once again Julia Cameron, in Vein of Gold, has taken our Visionary Women to a different location, literally!  In her chapter "Basic Black" Cameron encouraged us not to take ourselves so seriously and to have creative fun with some "attitude."  As you can see from the picture, some of us have more attitude than the others.  While Cameron did suggest that we dress all in black and go out, in public no less, with the persona of the suffering artist ... she didn't say we'd look like we were getting ready to rob the Museum of Art (we are artists after all, what else would we rob, a bank???) and that made us laugh and laugh and laugh!   When I cut across the parking lot on the way to lunch, I had to admit that I was volunteering to drive the getaway car.  

  One of our talented artist friend made T-shirts for us with a message for all of our well-meaning friends and strangers who have taken on the job of helping us transform ourselves:  "What other people think of me is none of my business"  We did have a lot of fun ... maybe next time you can join us!
