A Muse, a binge, and a color explosion.

[Rocco]

I found a Muse and wow I forgot what it was like! Raw inspiration and an emotional outpouring have been the fuel for well over a dozen paintings, all in various stages of completion at present.
I am recovering today from a painting binge that went beyond 36 hours (with a four hour nap) and I feel alive again, truly alive and well. I have slight concern about crashing a little but I Plan to rest today...
I forgot to eat and drink for a few days, with only occasional sips of water and finally remembered to eat twice yesterday
I am still riding the wave of euphoria! It’s like getting a new special interest and diving in with reckless abandon and I love it.

Here are a few samples of my recent work

My fav is the painting just before/above the one that says 'Shelby'. There is nothing like the creative process to focus me, allow me to feel energized, valuable, peaceful, and alive. Such a great feeling. I am not as prolific as you due to various reasons. Screwed up excuses, too. But i do have a fair amount of artwork to my name as well a hundred or more poems, many of which were published in literary journals nobody heard of , unless they are also someone who lives in the competitive world of getting poems published in literary journals no one ever heard of, lol..

Beautiful! Glad to hear you found your muse

Was looking at your pictures thinking you had to be out west because the stars, the shapes of mountains and rocks and adobe and emptiness of the scenes. I love them all. Thanks for sharing.

Your paintings are wonderful! When I first read the title to this thread, I thought it was going to be one of those jokes like: A priest, a vicar, and a rabbi entered a bar. The bartender looked them up and down and asked 'is this a joke?!" (credit to BBC's 'Father Brown')

Those are nice, thanks for sharing.

The art is lovely.

However, are you bipolar? The long working without rest makes me wonder. And we would all love the elation of a Muse, although at my age there is no spare energy for Muses.

 

[Rocco]

Definitely not bi polar. Was just inspired and infatuated, texting and painting lol. It was not a cycle or anything.

 

[Major Tom]

Very beautiful paintings!

 

[Aspychata]

Artists are lonely tortured souls but not bipolar. Lol! Beautiful, love your use of color and interpretation.

 

[Rocco]

At it again, with snacks close by, ha

At it again, with snacks close by, ha

Do you ever forget which hand is which, and stick a paintbrush in your mouth?

 

[Rocco]

I hold brushes in my mouth at times, that are loaded with separate colors. I have accidentally drank my rinse water a time or five. Lol

i think these blue and pink clouds are done now

 

[Kirsty]

I like how you have your name behind the girls’ names.

Amazing pictures i love art and design and have explored my creative side but as yet not found my thing, being creative with clothes and colours make me feel alive and creates a balance to my anxiety and not liking myself. Thanks for sharing your art.
