Serendipity …is a happy-dance!

May 6, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Creating art is often a happy situation, but it requires a certain stance.

One of pushing the envelope of serendipity, with a bit of photographic memory…
eventually (quicker than expected) it will reach that “imaginative” image.

And then (maybe) see a little story coming thru.

I wish that it could be as simple as that, but usually,
it takes, even more pushing and nudging, to make that magic happen!

Here is an example of setting forth:

[one_half] [one_half padding=”0 3px 0 0″]

Start with forcing a branch… tis a Dogwood!

[/one_half] [one_half_last padding=”0 0 0 2px”]

…so lovely, look at it’s lines + shadows…

[/one_half_last]

 

[one_half] [one_half padding=”0 3px 0 0″]

It’s an ever-flow of song and dance…

[/one_half] [one_half_last padding=”0 0 0 2px”]

..and a bit of “solo” in the umbras!

[/one_half_last]

 

Now let that imagination fly, one will see all kinds of activity!

 

[one_half] [one_half padding=”0 3px 0 0″]

Outline all that pertinacity spotted…

[/one_half] [one_half_last padding=”0 0 0 2px”]

…also exalting shapes into view!

[/one_half_last]

…this got ever so very complicated!

Almost Puzzle-Like…

Now for even more considerate scrutiny, finding the stanzas…

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
