Creativity requires heart!


If we are to find our creativity it requires finding our heart.....not copying someone else's heart but finding our true passion and reminding ourselves that what we love and how we love, is a personal matter. I love the country...the wide open spaces, the peace and comfort of exploring the landscape. I love the sunrise, as it peeks up over the mountains in a brilliant burst and spreads out like butter. I suggest we make a list of things we love today and share it as we please.

"Perhaps loving something is the only starting place there is for making your life your own." Alice Koller

...I love red winged blackbirds sitting on a cattail.
...I love the tinge of pink on the edge of a cloud.
...I love the color of ripened wheat.
...I love the way light filters through tree leaves.
...I love the silky air of a summer's evening.
...I love faded red barns.
...I love the countryside whizzing by on a road trip.
...I love sitting very still on a rocky cliff and watching the waves crash.

Creativity is often collaborative!


Despite the mythology that the artist's life is lived in isolation there is creative collaboration. The artist studies old masters work and encourages creative exchange with many contemporary artists. The technology of today is wonderful in connecting those of similar interests. Art is dramatic....life is dramatic and expressing our shared passions and devloping the camaraderie is inspiring. Thanks for the creative company!

The peaceful grazing of cattle on a spring morning under the watchful and protective barrier of mountains gave me my meditation for the day. No fences....no boundaries.....no limits, everything you need for the day.There is abundance!
