			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I knew I had a block of some kind going on recently. I was getting so frustrated even though I was working away sketching in my journal.</p>
<div id="attachment_1120" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 390px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1120" title="21 Acts of Censorship" src="http://brushedwithmagic.com/blog/uploaded_images/2010/01/21-Act-Sneak-Peak-380x293.jpg" alt="21 Acts of Censorship (Sneak Peak)" width="380" height="293" /><p class="wp-caption-text">21 Acts of Censorship (Sneak Peak)</p></div>
<p>Yesterday started with meeting to gab over coffee with my wonderful Mom group from my son&#8217;s school. I enjoy their company to bits, but yesterday it just felt like I was supposed to be somewhere else. So after visiting for about an hour, I headed over to the library on the next block in hopes of finding some inspiration (as that is what I thought I was in need of). It turns out their art/creative section is in need of lots of love and a big overhaul. I think I lasted in there all of 10 minutes. Next I decided to pop into our local dollar store (now $1.25 store. lol). They were in the process of unloading their new product shipment onto their shelves and to what my wandering eye should appear, but gallery wrapped 12&#8243; x 16&#8243; canvases! I picked up one out of an opened box and perused the rest of the store. Not totally believing that these babies could be only $1.25, I picked up 4 more and went to the check out counter. YES!, they are $1.25 each. I went straight home and sketched out one canvas, painted her hair a vibrant but swirly red and then found myself, once again, stopped mid-creation. What the fudge? Skin tone, that was my block! I am tired of using the flesh, almond, teddy bear, chestnut and all the other colours I have been using for skin tones over the last who knows how many years. Back to the stores I go in search of what my creative juices are craving. Low and behold, parchment, that is the shade that jumped off the shelf yelling at me to &#8216;Catch!&#8217;.</p>
<p>The image you see in this posting is of the five paintings I was greeted by as I awoke to them this morning. Due to their size, I decided I needed more to make a proper collection &#8230;.and it had to be an odd number, but 15, 19, 17, none of them spoke to me. 21, that&#8217;s it.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;21 Acts of Censorship&#8221;</strong>: It seems to have almost a sexiness to it, or maybe I am just another Artist that is partially bonkers, or it could be the fact that in my plans for this Spring is a Burlesque Show and a trip to Las Vegas. So we get the <strong>legal age of 21</strong> (U.S.A.) and the<strong> performance of tease</strong>. So now I have 16 more new canvases in my living room calling to me. I hear a nurse, a nun, a grandma, hmmmmmm maybe even a few Olympic athletes may emerge.</p>
<p>Now, I just need a venue to <strong>showcase the collection</strong>!</p>
<p>Have a great day! <strong>Keep smiling and creating</strong>,</p>
<p>Nicci</p>
