Do you let yourself play each day?
It was Carl Jung who said, “The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.”
As artists we are always creating. I think incorporating some play into our practice feeds new life into our art.
Today I was prompted to play, based on a Pinterest image, by Michele Cooper.
She shares a video on how to make 6 stroke figures.
I use Pinterest to share my gelatin plate monotype prints and to save inspiration and ideas.
Click on the image and hop over to my collection of boards, gelatin prints and printmaking tools. Be careful! It is easy to lose track of time when you start browsing.
I challenge you to find one bit of inspiration and then take immediate action. PLAY!
