Finding inspiration
Day after day, season after season how do artists find their inspiration?
Inspiration is all around us, from the view out the window, a movie, a friend, a blog, other artists. The inspirations are many and are unique to each artist and their emotions at the time. Art is way of expressing emotion, the more successful an artist the more they involve others with their emotion and inspiration.
No matter the medium I believe the goal of every artists at some level is to inspire others, to evoke emotions. Inspiration is a way to capture memories, some happy, some sad, some funny, some serious. Finding inspiration often involves self introspection, finding something within yourself that you may not have known existed. “Art is a way of expressing the soul”
On those days where inspiration seems to elude you, slow down, take a deep breath and enjoy the moment, take a walk, take a bath, enjoy meditation, observe your surroundings and other artists work, take inspiration through the struggles and successes of others, but most important keep moving forward.
