Sparks of imagination. 8 x 8 gouache on black
I wonder what creatures think when they see fireworks... if only they were silent, fewer creatures would be frightened.
This young chimp above is enjoying the show, he may as well... as it doesn't look like they are going anywhere anytime soon. Drone displays are impressive but they must need quite a bit of man' power & practice, costing quite a bit financially & hours. Displays in the sky created with projectors will be the way of the future. Remember the old school house? We'd light that as kids and it would make a cord of (?) burnt substance fascinating to watch grow? I did see a new version of that concept which was more accurate visually & and amusing - a dog pooping', I'm sure it has many wee ones giggling.
I have no intentions of purchasing one. Someone should make them with peoples custom dogs printed on the package - it would sell... perhaps.
I'd like to encourage other creatives to explore: The Creative Act. By Rick Rubin
It has several suggestions that have peaked my curiosity & different ways to approach an already existing creative process. I've been listening to the audio book while painting. It's for visual artists as well as writers and musicians anyone striving to create & create consistently. Several topics discussed made me feel pretty good too, I never seem to struggle with artist block any longer. It was Chuck Schultz autobiography that helped with that. Knowing I am on the right 'creative path'...To create for the creator first and not be concerned of anyone else is particularly helpful. Paint above all else for pure passion & enjoyment. Paint consistently! I do - daily for decades. Follow what sparks your imagination - giving no consideration to others or their opinions. My binder collection is proof of how many things have sparked ideas. Every now and then I take them out to look for something and am reminded of how much I create. It has progressed my skills as an artist at a faster rate than reading about techniques of others by actually just keep painting. Break the rules! Explore new material and ideas - start with what you have, there is no excuse not to create.
Creating is what you are here to do - your purpose, anyway that brings you joy.
Time to create some sketches for the next creation.
