the studio

P4050001.JPG
That’s “Desert­Manhat­tan” there in the back­ground, with a new, much sma­ller pain­ting I’ve just star­ted…
Far West Texas is well-suited to a stu­dio made of can­vas walls. The light is mag­ni­fi­cent…
I don’t spend a lot of time in the stu­dio– too busy with other pro­jects– but when I am there, I feel both crea­tive and serene. A hard combo to achieve, for most of us…

    I can not achieve sere­nity and crea­ti­vity at the same time. If I ever was serene in the pro­cess of doing something crea­tive, I usually miss the moment. My thoughts moves me fas­ter than the experience.

    I unders­tand what you mean. I can see lots of light but no direct light and how warm it must feel.
    Kind of like when I was a kid and was able to be in a can­vas tent during the day.
    It felt warm and exci­ting… like something was going to hap­pen there but you didn’t know what.
    That’s what crea­tive feels like to me.

    Really superb ana­logy by Thom. I know exactly what you mean.
