Hi Heidi, Just listened to your podcast and enjoyed it so much. I am also getting ready to have a “Painting Party” in the spring this year. I bought your book “How to have a Panting Party” and I am so excited to get one started. I have never taught an art class, but I have such an desire to do something I enjoy doing. I love art and have taken lessons in fine art and now learning to play and enjoy this journey of having fun and helping other people; whether adults or kids to enjoy and playing with creativity that we all have.
Thanks for your inspiration.
Thanks so much Connie. You may want to also email Heidi directly through her site Texas Art & Soul. I know she’d love to hear how your party goes!
Hey Connie!
I just found these comments so I’m sorry this is so late! LOL! Yes, how are your parties going! I’d love to hear! Just email me at heidi.easley@yahoo.com
Thanks for listening!
I enjoyed this podcast so very much! I could relate to Heidi in so many ways and she really inspired me to overcome my fears and just step out in faith! “God has his timing” and I really feel like it’s my time to start doing what I really feel I am called to do, which is to create Art and inspire others to do the same! I love that she mentioned the healing power of Art and how it can transform a person’s life! I love it!!!!! I really needed to hear this message today! Thank you again for sharing! It was great inspiration for an art teacher like me that is seeking to step out of the box and into my own creative journey!
Thank you!
Jaimie Luna:)
So happy you enjoyed the episode. Sounds like it was just the thing you needed to hear to do what you are meant to do! Thanks for sharing.
Jamie! Yes, art can TOTALLY transform you and others lives! Excited for your art journey!
Yesterday it just popped into my head to create some kind of artmaking party, and this morning I found your podcast! Painting parties sound like so much fun! I’d heard of them, but wasn’t sure if I’d like to paint and drink wine at the same time. 🙂 You gave me lots of ideas on how to organize it all.
I love your podcast and am going back to hear them all. One more thing Deep Space Sparkle does to bring art into our world!
You can totally do the parties with no wine. 🙂 I have tons that are at church events, etc… The wine ones are fun too, but it doesn’t have to be! Let me know how they go! I’d love to hear! heidi.easley@yahoo.com
This was fabulous! Very inspiring, relevant and informative! Thanks for all the info and inspiration! Anna Lewis, retired Art Teacher
