I always seem to harp on about getting inspired by going out into nature and absorbing the natural world into our being. This morning once again I was surprised and delighted at how true it actually is, that when one walks into a sunrise one is immediately inspired. One's whole being comes alive with the possibilities of the oncoming day.
We cannot help noticing how the colours change from a deep red, to orange, to yellow, as with the sun itself, which affect the colours in the sky, the sea, the sand and the land.
Our senses are heightened at this time. We are "tuned in" to what is happening around us and all the while, absorbing these colours that are so magnificent, into our being, through our eyes.
This miracle is "given" to us as a gift, daily. It is our duty to make sure that we do not miss this moment in time, this gift of being present to receive what is being presented to us by our Creator.
The fact that we receive this opportunity, at no charge, daily is the biggest Blessing we will ever receive. As artists' we need to feed ourselves daily on inspiration such as this, to keep our Spirit and our creativity alive and fresh.
We then, in turn, are able to share this gift with others, by painting from our Soul.
If we merely copy what other artists have done, we are replicating, and although it may look like a pretty picture, there will be no substance and soul to the artwork. So please go out there and take yourself into nature at sunrise and receive the gifts that await you. You won't be sorry...
