The Spark...

An old painting, painted over to start new. A favorite pen making marks on a fresh sheet of paper. The angle of a building, light through the leaves, offering a jade-tinted filter, a cool morning, the damp smell of ocean on the air. The Spark! Inspiration! It’s time to create… to paint, to write!

Writer's Spark...

Yes, the Spark is Inspiration, but every Artist knows there is much more to it than that. It’s a full body high, a pull, a comforting warmth of getting a glimpse at what is about to happen. A gathering of information and an expression of that information in your work. Creation. Magic. The Art of making something into existence that did not exist before, something from nothing. The Artist must be ready for it, the Spark, or sometimes create conditions to make the Spark happen. Be ready to catch it, keep it, put it into process, make Art, then let it go…
