A Milestone
Today is an important day, at least to me anyway, as I have
reached a small milestone in my blogging endeavors: my one hundredth blog post!
I can’t quite believe it either. Impulsive Artistry began back in November of
2015, and seven months later, we arrive at number one hundred!
After some consideration, knowing that I wanted this post to
be distinctive, I decided to take a this opportunity to reflect on what I have
accomplished this half-year with a list of the top five most popular
posts to date, as well as providing a link up opportunity to my fellow bloggers
(at the bottom of this post). Perhaps, I may even have a recap article like this
every one hundred posts, but we will see what happens when I reach 200.
Before we go on to the list, I just want to say a big thank
you to everyone who supports my blog each and every week! Your views, shares and comments keep me motivated to continue to
create new content, and I look forward to the future of sharing more
inspiring creative projects, photo sets and essays, paintings and painting
videos, music compositions and articles, guest artists features and more. Thank
you all so much once again!

The Top 5 Most
Popular Impulsive Artistry Blog Posts!
No. 5: Finding
Contentment Photo Set
In this article/photo set, I explore the concept of
contentment. In our busy world and daily life, we often take things for granted
and become frequently dissatisfied with our allotment in life, but we don’t
have to live this way. This post features some beautiful photos from a rainy
hike in the woods as well.
No. 4: Guest Artist Feature – Chantal Noordeloos,
Polymer Clay
In her engaging and very funny article, award-winning
author, Chantal Noordeloos, shares her passion and talent for working with
Polymer Clay to create beautiful miniature figures for board gaming. She shares
some of her amazing work along with great advice and tips to those who would
like to work with Polymer Clay as she does.
No. 3: Guest
Artist Feature – David Gonzalez, Composer
The emerging composer, David Gonzalez, gives us a window
into his personal approach to the art of music composition. In his article, he
contemplates the idea of the creative process, and discusses the musical
influences on one of his compositions titled, “A Moment in Time,” which he
shares with us at the end. A thoughtful and beautiful written essay that really
captures the essence of the creative spirit:
No. 2: Walk in the
Woods Photo Set
Join me in a photographic excursion as I explore the woods
near my home in Raleigh, North Carolina on a very misty and rainy morning. The
light was very unique as it drizzled while we hiked, and I captured some
beautiful shots of the forest. Take a look:
