Creativity – Where Does Your Inspiration Come From?

Jul 30, 20171 min read

Waves of creativity will hit me,

and then other times I seem to feel a bit uninspired….

I am not even thinking about being creative sometimes because I am busy living and taking part in life.

The feeling of inspiration that waves over me- and urges me to create, sometimes feels beyond myself.

The very first that I had ever felt this was when I had an intense urge to do my first acrylic painting, titled “Ariana”.

Something much greater than myself kept pushing me to transfer what was in my mind onto a canvas, and I could not shake it.

Being an untrained artist with no supplies, I headed to purchase a 3 x 5-foot canvas, set of brushes and variety of paints.

The transfer had begun- as I began to paint what was in my mind into its form I could feel the sense of urgency-

almost like a cloud of anxiety-

disappear.

Interesting.

The very first painting of Ariana that I did had several renditions in which I ended up painting over with different colors, reshaping the scene….

I share my first experience with you, and wonder if you too have had any inner nudge or inspired creativity that was similar.. or different….
