Christmas seems to be a time that inspires reflection on the year we've just lived. As we do this in a year where many artists have experienced a slow down in sales, I think a check in with our hearts is enormously valuable. What if we focused a little less on how sales or career "success" went (even it went swimmingly), and a bit more on how connected we felt with that wonderful, creative flame that burns inside of us.
There is a gift we artists have been given that can sometimes get lost when looking through the lens of material accomplishment, a gift that is kind of the whole point. We get to experience the wonder of taking a flat, white surface and creating a whole world on it in a matter of hours. This is so incredibly cool that at times it takes my breath away. If I never made another dollar from my art, this alone would be worth the ride. :-)
On another note, there is a Christmas post on my blog, The Art of Living Attuned, that I would really love to share with you. Please stop by if you have a moment.
Merry Christmas amazing painter friends, see you on the other side.
Hi Liz! What a wonderful painting, and not a brush stroke in sight! I get lost in the nuances of shadow and light; the enormous landscape of rock and snow; and then, the insignificant three figures that nonetheless, become the vocal point of the whole painting. Brilliant! Wishing you a Merry Christmas and look forward to more brilliance in the new year. Keep well. Janna
