The well fed artist notices all sorts of beauty, wonder and intrigue....it feeds their creativity. Fun and inspiration are everywhere and don't feel you have to do it alone. A single stem is not as interesting as a bouquet sometimes. Being an extrovert encourages me to join a community of creative souls when I begin to feel isolated in my pursuit of painting. The practice of getting together with other artists whether it be a walk in the mountains, plein aire expeditions, or a trip to the local art gallery, offers connections that quenches my thirst for creative companionship. Solitude is necessary....and so is connecting with others. A gathering of encouraging friends is a gift.
