Wishom, dare to create

Dare to be Creative 

Soul Song, Jean Hart

 

What's keeping you from creating?

I know I use to say, I don't know what to paint?

I have house work to do?

It's too cold....the list of excuses goes on and on.

Now that I have my studio in my house, and have started

Jean Hart Artwork.

I do not have time to wait for inspiration to come to me.

I must paint each day, or look at artwork, or critique artwork.

I spent most of my day doing just that.

But you simply must begin.

Once you begin, time just fly's by.

You get into a zone and everything just jives.

One idea will develop into another idea and before long you will be saying "I have too many ideas."

Make sure you always have a pad and pencil around you to put down all those interesting ideas.

I have found when I am especially stuck to go to the library and start looking through the art books.

When I was in art class we often went to the books for inspiration. Even if you use it for an exercise the important thing is that you get busy.

Also, I have found reading other artists blogs helpful.

Today's Lesson:

think about all the creative ideas that come to you in one day. How many do you dismiss as trivial or unproductive? Healing requires impractical and daring creativity.

Your Goal: to observe how you respond to your own creative voice, are you receptive or self critical?

Here is something I was told once by a very wise creative person.

Make your art your way. You are not the judge of this work. Your job is to just make it.

Be Inspired,
