Finding Time for Art

Thrusday, May 7, 2009

When one is a true artist, whether novice or experienced, we have to create. Finding the time amidst the everyday commitments is difficult. When I am not creating I just get frustrated inside. If I get one painting or card created, I fill fullfilled. Just the nature of the beast. I don't know if everyone is that way.
Creating comes from our soul and heart, and I think that is why their is such satisfaction. We are showing ourselves, family and the world what is in our mind and a part of ourselves.
I painted this painting, which represents alot of my style, very loose, free movement. Simple but has to come together the momentum of the flowers and colors.
I loosely paint petals, and some flowers, and if happy outline alot in pen and ink. I use the fine or extra fine point sharpie markers, so there is no run of the ink.
I think it brings up the emphasis of color and pattern.
I have been working on a new series of cards, my little Alien stamps I recently acquired from Talon. The only site I could find them. I will download one tomorrow for you to see. I think they are awesome. It is hard to find the papers, I would like to co-ordinate with them, but I found a few.
Have a happy day and hope you create and show me your recent work.
Patricia
