The thing I’m realizing about play, and the resulting creativity that comes along, is that you need time. Unstructured time to just see what happens. No agenda. Come what may…
Here’s the result of my play this morning. I call it “Lifeblood.”
This was created with some new apps I’ve been playing with recently, Handy Photo, Percolator and Repix, along with some of my mainstay apps, Glaze and Snapseed.
It feels good to play again.
Linking up to Paint Party Friday this week. Hi everyone!
Gorgeous!

There is much to be said for the value of play. I need more of that in my own life!
Lovely.
I think we vastly underestimate the value of play.
This is beautiful, Kat! How great that you are finding time to play and be creative — look at the results!
Really lovely…makes me want to climb into a big leafy tree and hide there…yours looks cool and inviting! happy PPF!
oooh I like it a lot!! I know it probably wasn’t a tree originally but it’s gorgeous!! I love how unique it is too!

Every time I see your work I vow to try my hand at this! Looks like fun! HPPF!
I hope you do try it!
It can be hard to find the time to play but when you do it is fabulous… I love the colour and textures in this one… very very cool…xx
What amazing effects you can get with apps. I must get myself a smartphone!
It is a TON of fun. I joke that I got myself a new camera/art tool and it happens to have a phone attached to it. 🙂
beautifully original. Happy PPF, Annette x

Whenever I see images that look like trees I think of family trees. This would be a excellent background for somesort of family tree art. Love it!
Great idea!
Kat, this is amazing. I am going to have to start playing a lot more. I have the time so I just have to let loose and play. Sounds like fun.
Yes, let go of the expectations, and just see what happens. New things are born that way!
This looks alot like the things I have been doing on masa paper and I bet it isn’t half as messy. Lovely!
Haha, yes! Definitely less messy!
Nice one, Kat! Play is so important and fulfilling. Its easy to get wrapped up in whatever and forget the importance of making time for play. Beautiful
This is the kind of play I like. Very nice.

this gives me the feeling of looking into a forest while im in a train or moving car. i have taken many photos this way. i have not played with creating with apps much but it seems like fun. happy ppf
Very cool piece, love the colors! HPPF!
Beautiful love the softness and the lines like veins! Tree of Life! <3
Beautiful work and very wise words. Thank you for sharing Kat.
A burst of spring green and alive. saludos
Beautiful! So abstracted and so much texture!
Love the movement and energy in this piece!
Soo interesting, love it. Happy PPF and have a great weekend.
Love your “play” painting. Without play we don’t grow as artists and art becomes mechanical. HPPF
