A drop of inspiration
Let's never limit ourselves
Maybe today we will find the courage to start something new, come back to something we loved or we never have time to explore but we always wanted and dream about it.
One very important thing- be prepared for the opinions of others, critic, prise and especially your inner critic.
I started sharing my work a while ago and till now I'm questioning.
I keep asking myself what my drawing represents, does it need to represent anything if I allow my soul to express it freely? I ask many questions and very often I find the answer and the creative process and contemplation are part of it.
I drow my own way and my goal are not to become a painter or artist but inspire other people and souls to breakthrough.
I find out that the more I create the more happy and calm I'm feeling afterward, and I love to be in the creative process without seeking anything at all.
If someone points things like you: you waste your time, you are silly,
you are too old, you are too weak, you don't have enough space, money, etc...
Really?
It's good not to expect, just trust the process and find joy in doing it, and very often we need to start somewhere, very often from nothing.
You don't need to be famous at all but you might find fulfillment in your heart, soul, mind.
Today I would like to introduce you to Grandma Moses that start painting and her carer as a painter at the age of 78.
Once she shared:
‘’I would get an inspiration and start painting; then I'll forget everything, everything except how things used to be and how to paint it so people will know how we used to live."
Each of us feels a different purpose but never is too late.
