Art and a Place to Create

Art and a Place to Create

There is this perfect place; where everything creative just magically occurs. Is it a destination? Perhaps for some; it's a dream of an art studio in Florence Italy. Maybe it's an artist's garret with a skylight overlooking the Champs-élysées in France. Could you create it in a mountaintop studio in Colorado overlooking the Rockies and experiencing the four seasons?

If you're a writer; maybe you would like to write the Great American novel, living in Hannibal Missouri overlooking the Mississippi River. Could you be creatively writing at the Sun Valley Lodge in Idaho? Or a favorite idea would be to paint and write on an “island in the stream.”

Four composers: creating compositions in Prague or maybe, better yet in Austria; historically you would be in good company.

Just about everyone who creates dreams of having the perfect place and location to bring forth the creative muse. Interestingly enough, great novels, great art and great music have emerged from some pretty unsavory environments. With just a little bit of research on your favorite artist, writer or composer, it just might give you an idea of how challenging it can be to find a location where you are perfectly content and stimulated to be the master of your craft.

Sometimes the obsession of where you are can destroy who you are as a creative person. Creativity should always come from within, and most likely with a lot of help and guidance from the heavenly plane.
