I realized that I search and research other's creativity for inspiration so much that I get so full of of them that there's no room for MY creativity to grow. I squelch my own creativity! Now, I'm exploring the WHY of that. Do I think I'm not original or imaginative enough to be an artist in my own right?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182429028607924847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817931270142622081.post-89100562022518395982014-08-23T14:06:20.693-04:002014-08-23T14:06:20.693-04:00Omigoodness Mary, you like Henri Nouwen too?

His Wounded Healer is one of my favourites, but The Return of the Prodigal Son is one to take to a desert island ....<br /><br />These are lovely pages - wonderfully free.

Glad you feel that about these pages, I love them too (especially the second one)Sarah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08746759211357915712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817931270142622081.post-90029357074137458422014-07-12T00:42:58.570-04:002014-07-12T00:42:58.570-04:00I know...sometimes I create something and wonder i...I know...sometimes I create something and wonder if it was my idea or had I seen it somewhere?

To me, it feels as if I'm dancing with the Holy Spirit! For me, the creative process is one of several forms of prayer-meditation. I believe the gentle tug of the Spirit will lead you on your journey as you continue to explore new territories in art-making. I expect that your self-expression will naturally change and evolve as you grow as a person and an artist. I feel it's all organic and it's all connected.

There is nothing like letting go and just having fun with your art, of not thinking about how someone else will view it and only caring that you like it. Love your pages and thanks for sharing your struggles. Hugs and see you Saturday. laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05486891375569735532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817931270142622081.post-39761362692964815192014-07-10T16:39:10.393-04:002014-07-10T16:39:10.393-04:00oh Mary.

So glad you've reconnected to the roots and heart of your expressions. Adding a technique is one thing, loosing our connection to our own art, nothing will grind you to a halt quicker. Love the new 'YOU' expressions :-)Bren Graham Thebeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423052785015946898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817931270142622081.post-78280914399859406932014-07-10T14:47:44.158-04:002014-07-10T14:47:44.158-04:00I hear you.......Its one of the main reasons i don...I hear you.......Its one of the main reasons i don't take classes.. i don't want my vision of ME to get 'cloudy'..I would rather just stumble along and figure things out on my own...
