What a difference! Yesterday, an acupuncture session and an art club meeting lifted my energy level! Nurturing our physical, mental and spiritual selves can be a good way to start energizing our inspiration.
This evening there was a particularly brilliant sunset which made me think about how euphoric those colors make me feel! It was a spectacular show and I had the luxury of spending some time studying, as it unfolded. As a painter, color is both tool and vice for me. Some colors in nature make me want to drink them to excess and bathe in them!
Many great painters have studied nature in depth, learning much from her. In his "Reminiscences," the abstract painter, Vassily Kandinsky, talked about how sunset was a magical time of day, when the colors profoundly inspired him.
As artists looking for deeper inspiration, we can try and figure out what elements of our art inspire us most, and immerse ourselves in them, especially when we need an energy boost.
About Me
- Diane Nelson Gold
- Join me on a quest to better understand and appreciate what drives us, the human race, creatively. Here are some of the kinds of questions I hope to address: 1) What kind of thought and spiritual alignment leads us to the kind of passion and enthusiasm that produces masterpieces? 2) How do certain rare individuals consistently achieve this kind of inspiration for their work? 3) How can we translate a moment of inspiration into a creative journey which is worthwhile and manifests work that is both inspiring and meaningful to ourselves and to others?
