not waiting - just paint or just observe

Just Painting

Just Looking

I was thinking about this topic this morning. I was feeling like starting a new digital painting, but with no idea what I might want to paint.

When one is at a loss for ideas - what does one do? For writers they often say - just start writing. So for people creating art - the same can also be true.

But in my case, I went outside and walked around my house looking - taking in - and thus the article today.

I didn’t end up painting or even end up with a clear specific idea - I sidetracked into doing something higher on my priority list. So much for inspiration.

But I realized, one does not need to wait for inspiration, one must simply look and listen.
