Why I Paint for a Party of One

The perfect art world starts within your own studio; and the thoughts you walk in with. No real art world exists beyond the imaginary. The focus of creativity is inward, and rarely manifests itself outwardly. Art only exists outside of the perceptive soul, when it's handed over to the promoters. From then on, its journey is forecasted by agenda driven manipulative words that nearly always betray the visual feast, and the heart of its creator. This unintended surrender invariably leaves the artist in a constant state of brooding.

A creative thought is never harnessed by a man-made, or man interpreted reality. Creativity, by its very nature, thrives when preconceptions are not in control. The oneness of spirit melds a universal truth of patterns, held together by the reflections of color nurtured by light itself.

Never has authentic creativity benefited from societal input. Most certainly, if it has, it became lost in philosophies that rely heavily on generations of misconceptions. The wonder of the work of art, in order to survive, needs innocence. Unadulterated views are extremely rare. And for every one plus one communication about a work of art, not so quietly becomes mystifyingly false.

You may be thinking; who really cares what is said, and by whom? Well sanity is unfortunately social. Creativity is for the most part, antisocial, and only thrives in environments where thoughts that betray... cannot exist. Reality is not a true friend of originality. Every role of the emotional dice changes the outcome. You have to tune in, to truly tune out the wordy thieves intent on betraying original thoughts and ideas.
