Art That Brings Light

The Creative Process

Gerhard Richter in his creative Process

I have been contemplating the creative process, what does it mean and how can we live it? Well, if I get really down to it, EVERYTHING is the creative process. Life itself, every movement its own expression. But if we look at it in the context of art, there is great joy in seeing someone else in the process.

When we look at a piece of art we resonate with, we can feel the energy, it is more than the visual experience. Or doing it yourself. That feeling when everything else just falls away and there is a sense of presence.

When I am in that ‘zone’, the work flows confident and without hesitation. One can see it in each brush stroke. I have learned to listen. Just quiet, and the next step comes naturally. Well, mostly…..that does not always work. Sometime I struggle with the painting to reach another level of  depth, sometime I just paint over it. White. Start again.

The painting is just like  life; just more concentrated and visible. Know when to step back, when to move forward with bold strokes, when to make a small adjustment with great tenderness.

“The meaning of life is creative love. Not love as an inner private sentimental emotion,but love as a dynamic power, moving out into the world and doing something original “           My favorite quote….author unknown.
