"Sometime in your life you will go on a journey. It will be the longest journey you have ever taken. It is the journey to find yourself." Katherine Sharp
"Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in this life has a purpose." Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Creating Art is an experience without a known destination...I love how it takes me where it wants to go...
I loved these colors together and had no idea what would be the center. I had thought a silouhette perhaps, a tree....a bench, a woman. But, much to my surprise...
A sunrise or sunset...and another windy lady. I loved the challenge of the scarf, and I was limited by its length....(that was all I had)
I even love that her skirt and the sun rays are the same fabric....
She will be holding something in her hand, I am thinking flowers, we will see... or a hat maybe....
Doing art is lots like living; it is done by feelings and the choices we make based upon feelings. We design our lives by the choices we make or the choices we don't change. And, by either honoring our feelings or neglecting them.
I believe that the more freer I am in my choice making in life, the more access I have of being daring in my art. Not that I am doing anything earth shattering, but my colors can be bold and work in harmony even when they don't match.
And match. Who decided what matches and what does not. If I feel they are a match, they match.
And, the quote..."Maybe being oneself is always an aquired taste" by Patricia Hampl, is true for art creation as well.
Being an artist you have to be comfortable doing that which others are not doing, to be different, to stand out, to let your feelings and personality come forth in the medium you are working in.
Doing by feelings...by what excites you and brings you joy. If you create like that, you will be in the Art.
