What do you think??

 

In a world that’s moving faster than we can keep up with, it’s important to find time to slow down, sit back, and relax. If you’re like me,  constantly on the go—getting everyone out the door in the morning, dropping the kids off at the bus stop,  working late, Crafting, homework, office calls , studying Laundry, cooking —then you’re probably longing for at least 10 minute a day to relax. The good news is you won’t have to travel far (although a beach vacation would be nice) to take a breather. You can do it in the comfort of your own home.

 

For me, Art is a form of meditation. Anybody can practice it .

 

Begin Get rid of all outside distractions. Remove yourself from the telephone, T.V., the computer, the cooking. .  We make time and space for ourselves. Be ready to begin.

Clear your mind . Painting outdoors is a good way to achieve this through its quieting and nurturing atmosphere. You can settle down and work freely.

Create – Creativity is thinking out of the box. – There is no correct or wrong way to paint. If it speaks to you. Do it.

Visualize – Step back and look at the big picture. Sometimes when looking at what you’re painting from a distance, you will see something different; something new. You may be seeing a part of your essence, what you really brought to the painting.

Enjoy this time you spend with yourself; it is uniquely satisfying and fun to spend time in the creative process. You come away refreshed and renewed.
