And why is that? Because, from her view this is what she (not an artist) sees when she is with me…
Another friend of mine (who is an artist) says that she embraces this process but keeps it inside. I embrace it too (because I am attempting to keep if from strangling me), it just happens to spill out. I am an out-processor. If you are around, you are bound to hear it.
How about you? Do you internalize or externalize that artist angst? I am all for sharing it.
An exercise in “seeing”. I call these my 5 second sketches and am challenging myself to do them daily.
In using a Micron pen, it keeps me from attempting to perfect the sketch and just move on.
I am studying Indiana backyard birds that winter over for some oil painting I am working on.
Do you notice the Golden Ratio in everyday things? Periodically I receive a pleasant surprise when I am not looking for it.
And then other times… not so pleasant. This little curled up opossum landed in my garage trash can this past week.
We found a happy home for him in the woods, but I couldn’t help but notice nature’s perfection, even if it was not as perfect or cute as my cat. (Ok, so I am biased.)
This has inspired me to dive into a book I have been wanting to read for some time now. Now I get to practice using the Golden Ratio in my creative endeavors.
