Are you on a creative journey or a journey that involves planes and luggage?

What inspires you when you travel?

Here is a lovely poem about a journey which I found at Poem Hunter:

Journey to Be by Mark Slaughter

I think I’ll journey out some day to wondrous lands afar,

Or even chart a journey to a distant blazing star.

But rest assured that where my journey sees to take me to,

Always know that when I go, this journey takes you too.

–

We’ll start our journey out from here by horse and cart of old,

The seaside docks – and journey pauses – where we shall behold

A noble schooner for the journey primed to launch as planned:

To sail with dolphins cross the seas then journey back on land.

–

And so our journey goes by foot to conquer mountains tall:

A chapter hence the journey reached, with scenes that should enthral.

But when we tire, let’s rest our journey, stretched in fields of flowers,

And bathe atop the mountain from the journey – autumn showers!

–

Refreshed our journey takes a turn – we’ll venture back for home,

But first we’ll let the journey take a tangent just to roam.

And in the winding route, this journey’s bound to bide content,

But most of all take heed – let’s make our journey life’s event.

Amy of Creative Mom Podcast posted a picture of one of her ATCs. It was the ATC response to the March ATC project she does. I think the prompt was Lucky, but am not sure. I kept thinking about that ATC and the squares and wasn’t able to get them out of my mind.

THEN I saw a piece of art that resembled the ATC in the CB2 catalog and knew something was happening. Last hursday night, in the midst of the complete chaos into which my life had devolved, I went upstairs, opened up a sketchbook, which is too big and thus intimidating, and drew some connected squares. Then I went, rummaged around in my scrap basket and got some of those blues of which I am so fond lately. I cut them up into squares and glued them over the drawn squares.

Then I closed the book, did my exercises and went to bed.

The whole experience was good. A little surreal, but good.

Update 5/30/2009 – After reading a magazine I was reminded of some quilts by Denyse Schmidt that also look like the above works. One is a quilt called What a Bunch of Squares and the other was called Mental Blocks.

A cube.

A box.

A plane with 4 sides.

Are you square? Do you live on a square? Do you walk or gather on the town square?

I didn’t realize how hard this prompt would be until I posted it. I thought of the series of drawings (are they a series??) that I have going and my heart sank. How would I fit this word into the series?

Then, during my creative binge over the weekend, I had a glimmer of an idea. I let it roll around in my head until finally it jelled. Then, I thought about how I would draw it.

When I sat down to do it the drawing today, it was done except for putting pen to paper. I really had done the whole thing and knew exactly how I would put it on the paper.

I finished and found that it was too boring. It was the perfect time to look through some of my previous efforts. I took the opportunity to add some details from previous drawings and I hope the details will add continuity.

I have mentioned her several times, but as I listened to another Creative Mom Podcast, I have to thank Amy for inspiring me to draw by speaking so eloquently about it. Thanks for taking the time, and expending the energy on your podcast. I appreciate it.

This is a photo I took in 1981 or 1982 in the small town that I lived in Austria.  I found it recently and thought it would be a great response to the Trees Creative Prompt.

What do trees mean to you?

Are they sentinels of nature or something to provide shade? What is the creative inspiration that can be obtained from trees?

When I think of what is the deepest source of things for me I always come back to water. I love looking out at the ocean and over other large bodies of water. I love looking at lakes and rivers from the air. I love the color of water. I tried to create one of those water statues to represent my source.
