HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Creating When You Don't Feel Like It

Creating when you don't feel like it, sounds like something your dad or mom would tell you to do, well, yeah probably but it is something you need to think about very carefully.
  There are always going to be times when you don't feel like creating for varied reasons.  These reasons could be that you don't feel well, you might have had too rough a night last night or even the weather is bad and you feel glum and don't want to risk making something glum. Well!
Try to put everything into perspective, your daily routine, your self , your body's need to create.
I find that when I don't feel like creating and I force myself to sit down and try something different with my paints or digital work, once I get started, the reason that I felt like not creating goes away and the piece I create or group of works, is more powerful than I could have gotten  the day before.
Seems odd but the act of creating gives the body a strength to move forward that is usually hidden from our normal daily lives until the need presents itself.

So, allow your creative juices flow even in times of sickness or bad feelings about you daily situation and you will find that inner power and strength to do great things.
Go and create something today!  I know I will.

Creating in a Muddled World

Creating images in a muddled world...

As an Artist it is necessary to become adept at juggling everything you need to do in your daily life, while still allowing yourself plenty of time to create.
Whether you are a painter, sculptor, photographer, etc. you need to be creative and you need to let your creative juices flow.  Stifling the flow will in effect, stifle the ability to create what you were meant to create.

I know our lives are complicated these days, the world is a muddled mess and we have to run here, do this or that.  There is never any time left to create!   You need to take control of you Artistic being and create time, yes , create time to create.
Sounds hard?  It is but it is what you have to set your mind to do.
It doesn't work the same for everyone out there, some can set a special time such as, 7:30 pm till 9:00 pm Mondays , Wednesdays and Fridays will be set aside for nothing but sitting at your easel and create something in that time frame.  Others will set aside a day or two of the week to go out and take photographs or make sketches.
    
Anyway that suits YOU is what you need to set-up.   The important thing to do is to allow yourself time to create.
