Once we shut off our ego and admit openly that we do not know, it litterally flyes into your head, in my case like a very loosely wound, pale gray, translucent ball of wool momentarily glimpsed shooting into my temple. Simultaneously my mouth opened and the answer to our problem spurted out in lucid, easy to follow steps. Inspiration cannot be forced, that is why lab. tests on psychics cannot succeed. It only comes to the quiet mind when something else, like beauty fills our heart.Arijahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03720793296992474762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-26783055691976756772008-08-07T04:15:00.000-04:002008-08-07T04:15:00.000-04:00Yes, an inspiration may come from a memory which h...Yes, an inspiration may come from a memory which has hidden itself away for years, or it could come from a recent memory.

I loved this post of yours because inspiration is certainly something on which it is hard to get a firm grasp. It can be as fleeting as a wisp of a cloud floating by in the sky or as stable as the large oak tree just outside your door. Getting hold of inspiration is akin to holding sand in your hand; no matter how hard you try to grasp it, it eventually slips through your fingers. But still we as artists press on...<BR/><BR/>:-) ChristiThe Artwork of Christi Bunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848949966583490343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-90366630964449004852008-08-06T05:57:00.000-04:002008-08-06T05:57:00.000-04:00Oh what a terrific post!

I just love that house! Pride and Prejudice (Keira Knightley) is another. The scene where the girls comfort their mother in her curtain draped bed is like a beautiful old Dutch master painting!<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for visiting my blog, and for your kind comment.

After fifteen years of them, I couldn't force my inspiration to come in neat little timed parcels. I had plenty of ideas, but they appeared randomly, which doesn't work when you're doing publications. <BR/><BR/>Now that I'm not working in that field anymore, I have the blog to provide an outlet for my ideas. It's not the same as graphic design, but it's just as wonderful. And I get to see others' ideas, too. It's not as isolating.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03406942482508439839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-18268240927160288092008-08-05T16:21:00.000-04:002008-08-05T16:21:00.000-04:00I do love to visit your blog!My stepgrand-daughter...I do love to visit your blog!<BR/><BR/>My stepgrand-daughter is interested in design and I will recommend it to her as well.<BR/><BR/>Love the Rackham picture too.<BR/>Cait<BR/>PS Finn sends a big thank you for the message.Cait O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04569760764766505179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-86269838549304332662008-08-05T16:02:00.000-04:002008-08-05T16:02:00.000-04:00Very true words.
