\"\"<\/p>\n

Those of us on Fine Art America\/Pixels who have completed three consecutive challenges are accepted into CAC, a just for fun group called the Challenge Addict Club.\u00a0 It started when one member said that they felt like they were addicted to these challenges.<\/p>\n

I was recently accepted into the \u201cclub\u201d and must admit that I did feel a little addicted to signing up for each challenge.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, I have signed up to participate in the next one that starts this coming Saturday.\u00a0 How could I not sign up when the theme was Blue and blue is my favorite color?<\/p>\n

Most of us think of addiction as a negative behavior.\u00a0 In this case, the motivation to stay creative, regardless of my situation or emotional status on any given day, has been a positive movement for me.\u00a0 As I said in an earlier blog post it has helped me to set goals, something that seems a little difficult for me as a dreamer.\u00a0 Obviously it is also helping me to build up my online portfolio, especially still life images.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to take this opportunity to thank Abbie Shores, Artists Community Areas Manager & Technical Support Manager at Fine Art America\/Pixels and Owner of Our Arts Magazine (which provided and hosts my blog).\u00a0 She presents and manages these challenges and designed the beautiful CAC Logo shown above.<\/p>\n

Thank you Abbie, for sharing your creative talent, your technical knowledge and especially for continuing to challenge me to push the limits of my creativity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
