I love new projects! From blank canvas to completed painting, the creative process is always a thrill...
I was musing about this as I walked through the woods today. I was wondering where creativity comes from... What's the process from the unknown to the known?
I'm not afraid of a blank canvas. To me it represents endless possibilities... A clean slate... And I realized that this is where the creative process actually begins. Before the sketch, before the idea, before the vision in the mind's eye... Creation begins with an intention.
Before I have any idea of what I'm going to create, I first have an intention to create it. Whether it's a new idea for a painting, something I'm writing, a business idea... Or anything in life for that matter! It all begins with an intention...
“Our intention creates our reality.”
Once the intention is set, then the seed of an idea will plant in my mind's eye. For me one of the best ways to harvest these idea seeds is to go out walking...
Sudden inspiration comes when we least expect it. So set an intention and then keep on walking...
