Thinking and Marinating

I am not an organized artist.  I don't use sketchbooks much, although I keep telling myself I should.  I enjoy working improvisationally- when the inspiration is flowing, it is great being in the zone.

So I started my research for Games.  I thought I'd end up doing something related to all the games I remember playing with my family as a child: card games, board games, you name it.  I have a plethora of possible inspirations.

But when I was writing the blog post to announce the theme, I vaguely remembered the title 'Games People Play.'  I thought it was from a movie, but when I googled the words, I got blurbs on Transactional Analysis and Eric Berne.

Although I haven't done therapy in awhile, I am trained as a clinical therapist.  I probably learned something about this in my many-years-ago grad school classes!  But the bits that I've read are sending me down a totally different path than what I'd first envisioned.  Mmm, finally my art and my professional training intersect.  This could be interesting!
