The Art Makes the Artist
Not all of us paint , but we all travel.
Traveling for me is exciting, tedious, exhausting and freeing. When I choose a place to go , or similar too painting the image I would like to conceive , I doubt my choice . I get worried it’s a waste of time . I pack , I prepare the canvas and the paints and I set out on my journey. The image starts to unfold and you begin to get comfortable with the process. The mysteries start to unfold and now become the familiar.
You put energy into ideas that fail. You step away and have great success. You see light that you haven’t seen before. Your heart swells.
When you get home and reflect on your journey, the struggles , the frustrations, the moments of excitement and bliss, you realize it’s all in the past . You are left with memories and a picture . As you relax , you dream of where to go next and you start tripping all over again!
