I have to admit that I am having some difficulty producing art. I didn’t think it was going to be easy… I truly didn’t. There are just so many obstacles to overcome. I am having a lot of trouble finding the time to work on all of the pieces I have started. I need help but I know this is something I will have to work out on my own.
On Saturday afternoon, I visited the bookstore and found this book. It’s called The Complete Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. It’s a trilogy. Over the past three decades Cameron wrote three books on creativity and they are all found within this one volume. I feel like maybe I’m the only person in the world who hasn’t read this book. So far I have only read the introduction but I feel hopeful that it might help me with the artistic journey. Isn’t it a gorgeous book? I didn’t want to crack the binding. Even the paper is translucent, delicate, beautiful. I am committing to working through The Artist’s Way and doing my best to complete the exercises therein. If I find it to be interesting or helpful, I will certainly share my thoughts.

Hello again :) This volume totally looks to beautiful to crack open, but I hope you will. It's on my reading list too - so no, you are not the only person who has not read it!
ReplyDeleteCrack it open! I encourage you. I can relate to your dilemma… difficulty producing art (or for me finishing). I ran across Lesley Riley's blog and her article 23 Ways to fit Art into Your Day and I really enjoyed it. It was too good to not pass along. http://www.lesleyriley.com/ I found your blog via Kelly Warren's blog. :) -Leah www.leahvirsik.com
