How Do Artists Bring Energy To Their Compositions?

There’s a lot of answers to that, of course?
But one of the wisest ways I know is to realize that areas of energy only feels energetic if they sit in relationship to areas of quiet.
Learn to bring in those quiet moments to give the space for the energy to do its thing.
And by the way, as is so often true…
As in Art, so in Life.
Take the time to look to your own personal energy. Are your actions and your emotions in or out of balance with those much needed moments of quiet, stillness, time for reflection…?
Or simply for 5 minutes a day to slow your go, go, go breath down for a few minutes into something deeper and more deliberate?
Or…
Are you living life from the other side? Are the days too quiet or repetitive?
Last year, did you live too many of the the same moments, days, or months, over and over again?
Because living through the same choices over and over, can be it’s own insidious quiet. Energy is movement, flow, not staying in the same place with the same habits.
So, as you consider balancing the energy with the quiets space in your artwork, don’t neglect to the same thing in your life.
All the very best, my friend,
