The Hues of Creative Juice
The Muse, she is the wild, passionate and creative force within. When she dances our spirits take flight. Joy and beauty is her gift. If not joy than certainly a contentment wells up. This does not manifest from standing back while admiring your easel. It blooms while you are fully engaged - attention focused - brush in hand.
Personally, I must admit, I enjoy celebrating my creative works. Standing before my recent work is a pleasure at times. It gives me time to study its design and what needs to change. I just don’t want to get stuck there. Momentum is crucial.
Worrying or fearing failure imprisons the Muse. Painting with
“Wild Abandon” is when I feel the most alive. Interestingly enough, embracing change has brought me greater freedom. From creative tension, angst, or passion I find the freedom to risk. This consciousness and courage creates art that surprises and delights me.
P.S. You won’t find any moose on this site. Try Alaska... Enjoy, Jeff
