The emphasis must be on the work, never on yourself or the desire for recognition. You are fusing your mind with the work itself, and any intrusive thoughts from your ego, doubts about yourself, or personal obsessions will interrupt the flow. Not only will you find this flow immensely therapeutic, but it will also yield uncannily creative results. These are words that I try to live by. When my ego starts to seep into my work, I know it is time to step back, go for a walk, bike ride, or hike, to ground myself, and once my mind is cleared, I can’t back to creating some awesome stuff.
Since this post is just a thought, I decided to add some arbitrary eye candy. These are digital watercolors that I did about a decade ago. One thing about watercolors is it is timeless.
