art play imagination
Art is the imagination at play in the field of time. Let yourself play.
acted art call creative fall given grew knew might mother music parents stand though
I grew up in what you might call a relentlessly creative household. We were given art supplies, music supplies... Our mother knew enough to get us started and then stand back and not meddle. My parents never said to us, 'Don't you think you'll need something to fall back on?' They acted as though creativity was completely normal.
art faith name
Art used to be made in the name of faith. We made cathedrals, we made stained-glass windows, we made murals.
spiritual art practice
Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
taken artist self-worth
A career must be husbanded. Care must be taken. Everyday must bring some small bit of progress. How would an artist with any self-worth act? Act that way.
artist order joy
In order to thrive as artists we need to be available to the universal flow. When we put a stopper on our capacity for joy by anorectically declining the small gifts of life, we turn aside the larger gifts as well.
artist guessing facts
Accept the fact that you're an artist and stop second-guessing yourself. Just do it.
artist
A working artist is a playing artist.
artist order giving
Judging your early artistic efforts is artist abuse. . . Remember that in order to recover as an artist, you must be willing to be a bad artist. Give yourself permission to be a beginner. By being willing to be a bad artist, you have a chance to be an artist, and perhaps, over time, a very good one
children artist creative
Our internal artist is always our creative child.
artist self order
In order to create, we draw from our inner well. This inner well, an artistic reservoir, is ideally like a well stocked fish pond... If we don't give some attention to upkeep, our well is apt to become depleted, stagnant, or blocked... As artists, we must learn to be self nourishing. We must become alert enough to consciously replenish our creative resources as we draw on them - to re-stock the trout pond, so to speak.
artist careers waiting
It is all too easy as an artist to allow the shape of our career to be dictated to us by others. We can so easily wait to be chosen. Such passivity invites despair. To remain healthy and vital, artists must stay proactive in their own behalf.
frustration artistic-life done
There is no such thing as being done with an artistic life. Frustrations and rewards exist at all levels on the path.
dream artist light
Artists love other artists. Shadow artists are gravitating to their rightful tribe but cannot yet claim their birthright. Very often audacity, not talent, makes one person an artist and another a shadow artist-hiding in the shadows, afraid to step out and expose the dream to the light, fearful that it will disintegrate to the touch.
