More Randomly Speaking

Time again for Randomly Speaking. Random collections of eclectic things I've read, heard, and seen in the present HOPE of opening up and unblocking my creativity:

Eclectic 4- Purple Passion Bangle Set
  • "Creative art demands that the artist should know life, either by experience or by inspiration, and this knowledge of life must develop a profound sympathy with humanity. The technical method of expression may be whatever the ARTIST WISHES*, whatever seems the simplest process. There is not a variety of creative arts; there is IMAGINATION* and IMPULSE TO CREATE* and a variety of methods." - Giles Edgarton
  • "Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed* is more important than any other one thing. " - Abraham Lincoln
  • "For one who has conquered the mind*, the mind is the best of friends*. But for one who has failed to do so, his/her mind will be his/her greatest enemy." - Bhagavad-Gita
  • The work of art is above all a process of creation, it is never experienced as a mere product.* - Paul Klee
  • Go see the movie "Nine." See creative blocks in action except lose the cigarettes.
  • Do a handstand*.
*My subliminal attempt to help unblock. I actually think this might be blatantly effective. I'll see. What do you think?

There is nothing Randomly Speaking about this:

We are the
artists that create our own lives..

Especially
with creative blockage.

  1. Thanks, Marilyn! I think the living life part is so true. Today I'm going to garden... after doing physical stuff like that, my mind is ready to be focused in the studio.
