Impulse

Strange nowadays, since graduating a lot of my art seems to come from impluses, immediate inspiration, or such like.

It hasn't been a long time, really, since moving on from studying art to just doing it.  It feels a lot better now than having that feeling that I 'had to' produce paintings, or 'had to' write down what I was feeling.

It's natural now, the impulse of 'this is me, this is what I do' takes hold and I just do stuff. 

Got about 3 paintings on the go at the moment.  It's great - I sit down and think 'yea, I'll do something on that one' or 'I'm bored of that, let's do something crazy'.  Since my works about my dreams, I'm also finding it a lot easier to realise which dreams mean a lot to me, which ones I want to paint and try to explore the meanings of, instead of feeling I had to write every single one down for reference.

FREEDOM!  Tis a brilliant thing.

 

Look at the bear!!
