Inspiration

Lately I have not been inspired to paint or to write.  I support others in their pursuit of their creative lives but mine had stalled for just a bit.  But knowing the creative process as I do, I relaxed.  I knew given time the desire to write would return as has the "I can't wait to paint today" feeling.  There are times in all of our creative lives when we need to step back and take a break.  When this happens, I let myself go with the feeling for awhile and see what happens.  I look for inspiration but I don't frantically seek it out. 

Friday morning I got up early and was riding into town when inspiration met me head on.  I was going slowly over a short bridge and had to stop because of the light below.  As I was waiting, I looked up to see the most beautiful Christmas tree atop the tallest building in the distance. The hospital had chosen all blue lights and it shone beautifully in the glow of the morning sunrise.  I was in awe of its beauty and it was at that moment I knew I was ready to create again.  

Inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes.  It comes when we are looking for it and when we are not.  It comes from nature, people and things we cannot explain. The important thing is to be aware of it and to be open to it when it comes.  

Look for what inspires you this week.  Then take the steps to bring more of that into your life.  For me it just may be more early morning rides or walks to see what I can see.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas filled with inspirational moments!

           When you share your dreams and your talent with the world, magic happens.  Let the magic begin!

                                                     Create the life you want to live.

This is possibly one of my very favorite pieces of art you have created!! What I have noticed about the lull in creativity is that the artist always comes back stronger with a vengeance and tends to go in a different, even better direction!! I find it so interesting. It's as though that rest is for the body and soul to gather new creative information or gumption to forge ahead! Maybe it's the calm before the storm of creativity!! We shall see what transpires with you!! This painting seems brighter and more full of hope.... just stunning!!

May your Christmas be full of love and joy!!

Hugs Giggles

"Inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes...." I love this statement and so true. It's something great to keep in mind, especially as artists, or it would make our creative world quite dim. Beautiful painting and love your blended colors, Ginny. :)
