An Excerpt from Life, Paint and Passion
|
Life, Paint And Passion is a deeply involving
approach to using the creative process as a tool for self-discovery. With
vibrant and contagious enthusiasm, the authors liberate the reader's urge to
create freely and spontaneously, as a painter or an artist in another medium,
purely for the process of exploration, not for result.
the right imageWith eloquence and simplicity, the authors encourage the reader to journey inward toward his or her authentic self and discover the unique intuition awaiting there. It is this intuition that provides all the tools the reader needs to crumble the barrier between the innermost self and its uncensored manifestation. Through lively interviews with students, the authors explore painting as a practice that facilitates the ecstasy of unfettered expression. With simple brushes, a few dishes of paint, and this book, the reader will be able to coax the hidden self out of the heart and onto a paper. Life, Paint And Passion is the result of nearly thirty years of intensive work with the painting process. It provides powerful insights into the act of creation, a solid base for facing and transcending creative blocks, and brings fresh perceptions and healing to life. if it's already painted in your head, why paint it? be careful, they might teach you something! the wisdom of the child chaos, the soil of creation beauty the "I want" just play pick only ripe apples awaken your image maker! sensing exploring the unknown what is ugly? the mind is a thief do not kill the void abstract forms or concrete images? don't trample the flowers creative destruction feeling and painting interpretation vs. insight the body knows if you do not listen to your intuition, it will stop talking to you! on second thought... dark shadows on finishing welcome to the earth self-discovery a little life left resistance to create is to be a little lost the brick wall: creative blocks a horse is a horse is a horse to care and not to care break the rules! follow your brush, but don't follow your brush tricks and crutches repetition, compulsion, and indulgence feeling vs. emotion monsters unleashed! is it therapy? erotic images painting god going toward the light levels of completion a good comment is a bad comment the process is the teacher dark or light? you are not your painting! creativity and the spirit art process as spiritual practice if painting were just about painting... appendix: brushes, paints, and paper |
