I love quotes...they inspire me to look at things differently, more positively--they can put things into a better perspective for me when things are frustrating, disappointing or even sad. They also inspire some of my artwork. One of my new favorite quotes is a portion of a poem by Osho. I love the imagery of this..."let your life be a painting/let your life be a poem." I've done two mixed media paintings with these dreamy words--here is one of them:
When I think of poetry I imagine powerful words, strong images, scents, feelings, music, memories, hopes, disappointments, honesty...
When I think of paintings I think of color, impact, feelings, emotions, music, love, honesty...
I guess these are all the things of life and then some...some beautiful, some messy--life. What a great image in my mind.
