Welcome to my blog page! My goal is to share with you my passion for art and for interior decorating.<\/p>\n
This first blog is for each and every one of us who has \u201cideas\u201d.<\/p>\n
When I began writing this I was reminded of Thomas A. Edison\u2019s saying that \u201cgenius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration\u201d. I think that this idea certainly applies to all creative pursuits, even blogging. \u00a0It\u2019s great to dream but it\u2019s a lot better to crank ourselves up and actually do something.<\/p>\n
Has your creativity gone on vacation? An art teacher of mine once said that it takes a good month to get back \u201cin the groove\u201d after taking an extended break from painting. Well, how true this is (in my experience anyway). When I haven\u2019t painted or designed something for a couple of months I sometimes have to struggle just to get past the studio door. My work can be annoyingly boring. But, sure enough, after a month or so I\u2019m back on track \u2013 ideas flow and my studio and I are once again on friendly terms.<\/p>\n
So \u2013 if there is something that you would like to create just get going and \u201cdo\u201d.\u00a0 You may have to pretty patient with yourself. It may take quite awhile for your fear to disappear (can we really be so afraid of pencils and pens, canvases, cameras, blank computer screens, pieces of paper or cloth or metal or chunks of clay or paint chips \u2013 it appears to be so)! You may make mistakes from which you will learn not to make said mistakes again. And so it goes. Just remember: doing makes for more doing.<\/p>\n
