Ok, you just woke up after a full night of sleep and you feel sluggish, tired and so incredibly unmotivated that even getting up from your bed seems to be another mission impossible as if waking up wouldn’t be hard enough. And what you do? Well, if you are like me you just try to figure out if there is even a tiny possibility to make this day a productive one. Because there is nothing more frustrating than realizing at the end of the day that you accomplished absolutely nothing during the whole day. I hate this feeling, I really do. But sometimes even if you try hard the whole universe seems to work against you.

(This is part of my Project: Artist with a Day Job series!) Sometimes when you work a day job, life can be summed up as “go go go go go.” Your brain is addicted to getting things done, checking things off the list. As an executive assistant, I proclaim sweet victory every time I mark an item on my list with a big capital-lettered DONE. But when the time comes to be at the easel, it can be downright impossible to turn off this frenetic mindset. And THAT is a hindrance, since art-making is most joyful and fruitful when done while calmly focused on present moment. It can be an even bigger hindrance when you only have, say, 30 minutes in the morning to paint before heading out the door, or 5 minutes with your sketchbook on your commute. The heart starts racing and the mind screams – “START. Get something done NOW, you only have a few mintues!” Yeesh.

The key is to relish the time you have, instead of getting worried about it. And don’t get worried over the finished product either. You are not here to make a masterpiece. You are here to paint. Plain and simple. Because “making a masterpiece” would just be another bullet on your overwhelming to-do list. That’s not what painting is. Remember that if you’re feeling flustered at the easel. Here is a hard and fast tactic that I use to overcome the crazy “get it done” mindset.

1. Before I start painting (even if I have a mere 10 minutes), I take a couple of slow deep breaths.

2. Then, before brush sinks into paint, I consciously tell myself what a lovely gift it is that I have these minutes to relish in making marks on a canvas. Even if I don’t really FEEL that gratitude right then, saying it to myself helps a little bit. Having gratitude for the time (rather than anxiety that I need to use the time sensibly and get something done), puts my mind a little bit at ease and in a better place to make art.

Decoupaged a number of years ago, this table reminded me how much I adore and deliciously relish the creative process of collage. Maybe I should do a series of playful collages on some wood panels I've had gathering studio-dust? #collagiste #creativeprocessing #howtobecreative #decoupaged #decoupagedecor #eclecticism (at Cape Town, Western Cape) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRwSyh7J9MI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Art is everywhere when you begin to see.

My book is almost done, and I begin to spread a little of its light into the world. The book is about creativity. I hold the theory that each of us is born with a creative core. Life is not going to be easy for the super-majority of us. It doessn’t take long for us to lose focus.

To quote Sherwood Anderson, “The thing, of course, is to make yourself alive. Most people remain all of their lives in a stupor. The point of being an artist is that you may live.”

How to remain the artist is where my book’s focus will be. Follow me here if you are interested in the final process. I choose the painting above for my first post as the tenacity of Delaware’s horseshoe crabs—Limulus Polyphemus to be exact—is legendary. For around two hundred million years, the Limulus has been around and comes to breed in the warmer waters of the Atlantic. Finding our bay each spring is a favorite spot for them to ride high tides to shore and lay their eggs. They prove when you are persistent, you get results that last.

Happy creative life. Enjoy. Taylor

PHOTOGRAPHY // although I am not a professional photographer I still enjoy photography. And I am so excited about my first long-term product photography project @lateinture and we got a lot of images to be published soon. The most important thing is to never stop learning and trying to improve your skills with every new photo. I have to say I am learning a lot from the amazing team behind @lichterderwelt (in German). They share a lot of amazing tipps and tricks at their account and some really helpful tutorials on their website. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In addition to that, Instagram is full of brilliant and inspiring photographers who‘s work I admire and enjoy looking at. For example @jamiebeck.co and @tomhegen.de and @l4artiste and @iddavanmunster. And of course I love @annieleibovitz and @mariotestino and @thepeterlindbergh.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are your favorite photographers? #photography #Inspiration #inspire #travelinspires #artinspiration #creativity #howtobecreative #getinspiration #getinspired #nadinebatista #nadinebatistasantos #nadinebatistaillustration — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/33JD1Bz

My partner bought a book today, which reminded of this Manifesto by Hugh MacLeod on Creativity. His tips apply whatever your art is. It is a little business oriented, but still pretty good !!
