Creative inspiration?
It must be divine
because
I cannot explain
where it comes
from…
Inspiration,
the view
outside my window
I observe color harmonies,
textures, silhouettes,
and patterns of clouds.
Almost every evening
a new gallery opening appears
in the sky.
In these moments
I marvel at
this beautiful planet
and think how lucky I am
to see as I do.
Sometimes I take pictures
but mostly I try
to absorb the feeling
and memorize details.
I wonder how much
enters into my work,
but mostly
it is not planned.
Art supplies
and tools
inspire me.
I wander the art supply store
noticing everything.
I linger over industrial tools
to see what possible marks
they can make.
In solitude
I lose myself
in my task
to find
joy

Being lost in solitude is not being lost at all. It is a sure way of finding yourself

“Art supplies

I have a brush fetish. Can’t pass a display of camel or fox hair brushes without picking them up, feeling them, smelling them. They inspire me and I have to bring them home.
