New Year, New Outlook.

The New Year has begun and we are ready to start a new year of creativity!!
Cast aside the old and begin with new thoughts, new ideas.   Try something new and unusual, something that you have always wanted to try but didn't have the artistic nerve to attempt. No fear, just make the attempt.
Whether it be painting with a different medium or sculpting with a different material or even just taking photographs with a different lens!!  Just do it.  You will surprise yourself with what you can accomplish if you would only try.
A great masterpiece is awaiting the chance to be created by you!  Dig down deep, into your inner self and really shoot for the moon this year.  I am sure you will not regret it.
Even if you feel that you have tried every medium, every technique, every style, there is always the chance to create something new, something that nobody has ever seen before.  Strive to come up with the next big thing that everyone will be talking about and every gallery will want to show your work and every one will want to copy.   You just have to try.
So, get into your studio or get out into the field and create.

Memorial Post for my Father

I know that I am always saying to create no matter what, pain, overworked, etc., etc. but now I have to admit that there is a time when I cannot create a darn thing. My Father passed away last week and although I realize he is no longer suffering and is in a better place, I could not speak for a time, I cried for several days and am still saddened today. I have to admit that through this ordeal, I have been unable to even think straight, much less attempt to create anything. I used what little creativity I could muster into this memorial card I designed for my Dad. I will wait until I can stop crying before I try another creative session. Rest in Peace Dad!
