Artistic or creative?

During the little bit of snow that we got over the weekend I had some time indoors to look through my latest library books and magazines. I really love to read Bill Bryson but the size of the book kept me searching. One of my library finds is a book called Zentangle untangled sort of a doodling book. I have forever and a day wished that I could draw-anything. When I was in school our art classes consisted of art history more than art if I remember correctly.  I remember my mother, in her kind way, saying to me when I was younger, that I was more of the creative type not artistic like a painter or sculptor. It took me a while to figure out how creativity and artistic ability are different. Still, I think of myself as artsy somehow because a- I love art, all kinds, and b- I love to doodle/draw. When I picked up this book at the library I was interested in what Zentangle untangled was all about. To get started, I used some really nice paper and a la pen then I learned some simple designs. I had a lot of fun feeling as if I really could draw-even if it was doodle-like.  There really is a book for everything.  I'd better stop doodling and get reading, there's quite a list to tackle.
