Back to Why

With nothing in mind to write about today, I have decided to go back to the reason that I am writing in the first place. I am seeking to have more control over my creative life by giving myself more opportunities to express my thoughts and feelings.

Creating art has its ups and downs. The downs are always the lowest just before a breakthrough and then there is a sweet high. I guess that is another example of the principle of the highest contrast being a focal point. I remember the highs and seem to forget that in the past I have been able to get through the lows in “the valley of death” to find creative solutions. Most often the solutions come because I am in the process of active making. I create most effectively by making.
