posted this image today from

The National Portrait gallery

It is a sculpture consisting of stuffed animals and feathers

I find the execution of this enthralling

Creating an image from a shadow 

something from nothing

so thought provoking and inspiring

as a creative person I am constantly

Looking, questioning and exploring

I have been reading

THIS

 A book by the insiring

Keri Smith

The journey of the creative mind is a fascinating one

we can be our own worst critic

"Compare and despair"

We need to remember to give back to the well

the creative well

so I have begun my explorations 

i will keep you posted

Quote from David Horvitz Via wish jar 
-

When I was in College at the start of every drawing class 

we had to scribble on the page for 20 minutes.

This was to loosen us up.

We had to draw blindfolded.

We had to draw with our "other" hand (left for me)

Now that College is a distant memory

One can get so caught up in the "finished product",

the humdrum of running a business,

Pleasing the client,

that you can forget to get back to the root 

of what drives your creativity.

I recently purchased 

"how to be an explorer of the world"

is something I will be
