Intuitive Painting
I have been reading - searching online - viewing art - dreaming of putting paint on the canvas - and then just starring at it. . . for most of last year. The age old dilemma of my work isn't that good so why do it?
Answer - because it makes ME HAPPY!!!!
So, with my book by Flora Bowleybraveintuitiveyou.com , I started a large canvas for my granddaughters room - at the request of my daughter-in-law. Dipping my fingers in the paint and with my new huge Sharpie marker that my husband had put in my Xmas stocking wrote the word Sisters on the canvas. There, I started! Then questioning myself I stared at it for quite awhile. More inspiration and courage please. Tracy Verdugo artoftracyverdugo.blogspot.com, more intuitive pushes. I had no idea she started her work with words painted on the canvas. Painted some more - put on my music, my art shirt my husband gave me, my fingerless gloves my sister-in-law made me and my Harley bandanna! Kooky but it works, puts me in a different place and the paint starts to flow. Again, alittle stuck...sign up for Journal Soup with Kate Crane,
thekathrynwheel.blogspot.com, ahhhhh more paint goes down. FINISHED.
