Starting a piece of art is like falling in love. At first you are unsure of the potential of it. Then you become more and more entranced by it's splendor. You begin to notice how each time you sit to paint it gets harder and harder to stop your brush from taking another stroke. You want to keep going and going. To see where this creativity will take you. What unknown area of your soul will it bring out onto it's canvas. The excitement of it all surrounds you and you can barely stand it when you are not able to express yourself. You are completely captured by it's beauty and passion.Eager to see what will become of these first exposes to paint on canvas. The mystery is terrifying but you are comfortable in it. Letting it cover you and take you in. You become so one with the piece that you can feel it even when you are not in front of it. Imagining all the ways you can make it come to life. That is the moment that you notice that you have begun a journey. A journey that will take you places you have only dreamed of. Now there is no turning back. Further down the rabbit hole you must go. Fall.
I am starting a new piece of work finally. Hence this little bit of thought. We shall see where it takes me.
this is brilliant......could feel your desire even when not in front of the piece....very insightfull!
