I've been painting like crazy the last couple of months and need a break for my creative energy to recharge.
I find if I feel I "have" to paint something, the painting will not come out well. I have to "feel" that indescribable feeling of "needing" that comes from deep within my soul. Without that...I am nothing, and my art is like a useless cheap copy of what my heart really wanted me to paint.
Some ask, "What are you going to paint today?" The answer is usually, "I have no idea. I'll know when I hear it calling me." Maybe it's the ancient blood of my Cherokee ancestors calling to me to be always authentic in my work.
Wow...some deep thoughts today...I think I'll add that to my bio! lol
