HOW TO BE AN ARTIST

One day, I was cleaning my old file and I found the article below. I will be taking another vacation. I'd like to leave this colorful things to do while I am away. Please enjoy looking at the artist pallette below. It is made of chocolate. Yummy!

Stay loose. Learn to watch snails.Plant impossible gardens. Invite someone dangerous to tea. Make little signs that say Yes! and post them all over your house.Make friends with freedom and uncertainty. Look forward to dreams. Cry during movies.Swing as high as you can on a swingset, by moonlight. Cultivate moods.Refuse to "be responsible." Do it for love.Take lots of naps. Give money away. Do it now.The money will follow. Believe in magic.Laugh a lot. Celebrate every gorgeous moment.Take moonbaths. Have wild imaginings, transpormative dreams, and perfect calm.Draw on the walls. Read everyday. Imagine yourself magic. Giggle with children. Listen to old people. Open up. Dive in. Be free.Bless yourself. Drive away fear. Play with everything.Entertain your inner child. You are innocent. Build a fort with blankets. Get wet.
Hug trees. Write love letters.

Please leave your comment below and I will get back to you after my trip. Thanks for dropping by.

These suggestions are so true to the heart. If I can add one, I think to be an artist means listening and releasing the natural child within. After all the gift to create is but an extension of the ultimate power of our Creator who fashioned everything including us into the unique living, breathing works of art each of us is.
