I am feeling very inspired today ... This is a photo that I took of my office desk drawer ... I arranged these magnets in a way, so I see them each time I need something in my desk ... What do you do for inspiration?
It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
Inspiration for me comes from awesome artwork of others...Some I know are art masters with wonderful imagination~!! Oh, not to copy, but to feel like I could accomplish as well...When that urge to create pops in, then I am ready to try and answer the call...
ReplyDeleteMargaret - I agree - When I see the work of others, I feel so inspired - I feel the same way, not to copy - Just to try my hand at what I see, to see what my interpretation would look like ... Keep Smiling & Creating!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Margaret. I also find inspiration in nature. But sometimes it just comes to me with no reason, or leaves me just the same. :) I never know...
ReplyDeleteSonja - This is exactly what happens with me - Sometimes I awake with a thought in my head of what I want to photograph on that day, and then other days I am at a loss and then I am inspired by someone else's work ... Each day is different, Absolutely!
