inspiration - images by Dana Tanamachi.
Today I watched Art21 videos and got inspiration from this lady. She's brilliant. I'm thinking of installing a chalkboard in my studio, no?
Here's a quote that's been inspiring me lately: get out of your own way. We have been talking a lot about 'the devil' in creative practices class and in chapel, and I'm convicted about his power over us. He tells us that what we want most is impossible. So what if I want to be an artist? What if that's what I want most? The world will tell me I can't make it as an artist. The devil, or 'Resistance,' or the evil one, or (more commonly) the voice inside my head will tell me that I can't make art well. I can't do it.
BUT. I know that I can get better. And if its what my soul feels called to the most, the devil will put up the most Resistance (capitol 'R'). So once he gets out of my way, I'm the only one left.
Today I just sketched. That's all.
Happy Thursday!
love this, love you!
