That feels like such a perfect way to describe what I feel when I start a painting. I always feel like I'm standing at the edge of a cliff, looking into this blackness. Not scary, but totally unknown. I can stand there forever, trying to catch a glimpse of what's there. But it never really happens. The only way I can know it is to jump into it, to give myself to it and see where it leads. Sometimes it's scary. Sometimes it's exquisite. But this space seems to be where I always start. I'm glad you shared this. And I love that you shared your art too. It's absolutely awesome, totally inspired and filled with all kinds of good mojo. http://creativejuicesarts.com/blog/intuitive-painting-as-a-journey-into-the-unknown/comment-page-1/#comment-160 Leah Tue, 21 Jul 2009 18:27:30 +0000 http://creativejuicesarts.com/?p=2369#comment-160 I loved this post, Chris! I've found when I try to force a subject, it comes out way too stiff, but if I can just allow myself to paint without thinking about what it means, it's a much richer experience. Loved seeing your artwork too! Yay!! http://creativejuicesarts.com/blog/intuitive-painting-as-a-journey-into-the-unknown/comment-page-1/#comment-159 cheryl Wed, 15 Jul 2009 21:25:06 +0000 http://creativejuicesarts.com/?p=2369#comment-159 Hi Chris, I love hearing your explain the agony & ecstasy of creating intuitively. It's a spiritual partner that teaches us (sometimes though tough love) to let our essential selves shine through. I missed the podcast that Stacy mentions above, hmm..I'll have to seek that out. I love connecting with and expanding my world of expressive arts friends. Your blog is filled with life and inspiration. A brilliant mirror for us all. Thank you for shining so brightly! Shine on, Cheryl http://creativejuicesarts.com/blog/intuitive-painting-as-a-journey-into-the-unknown/comment-page-1/#comment-158 Diane Whiddon-Brown Sat, 11 Jul 2009 22:23:42 +0000 http://creativejuicesarts.com/?p=2369#comment-158 What a beautiful post. Thank you for writing it. And the ending is sublime. I almost feel like I'm getting there with my writing. And I LOVE that you're going to put some of your art in your posts. Getting more of The Wonderfulness that is You in your posts is awesome for us, your readers. http://creativejuicesarts.com/blog/intuitive-painting-as-a-journey-into-the-unknown/comment-page-1/#comment-157 stacy wills Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:21:47 +0000 http://creativejuicesarts.com/?p=2369#comment-157 i thoroughly enjoyed hearing you on the arts & healing network podcast, and came to visit your website - WOW! what a blessing it has been to peruse such a wonder-FULL site. i love what you said here in this post (love your drawing, too!)..."when in doubt - paint!" i'm adopting it as my mantra.
