I love a good adventure. So right now I'm sitting in a hotel room in Valdez, Ak with my three kids. Our big thing to do today, watch phineas and ferb. How did this happen you might ask and what does this have to do with art? Ill get to that. My husband had to work and talked us into coming. "why not" I thouht. There was a hotel with a pool. He could work and we could swim. Win Win right. Nope. After a five hour drive with three kids who were promised a day of swimming fun, we arrive to find out the hotel is under construction. Why not just go to another hotel. Valdez is tiny and we were lucky to have one pool. So my adventure didn't really turn out they way i wanted, but its still an adventure none the less.
Now for the artistic link: When your creating do you like to play it safe and totally prepare for whats coming or do you try new things and give it a shot and hope the gods of inspiration and cleverness will smile down upon you and make everything work? Or are the the kind of person you will study a new idea and technique till your sure it will happen just the way you want? Im the second kind. I dive right in and just go with it. If it doesn't work at least i will learn and try something different next time. Maybe next time i will call the hotel ahead of time and make sure there is water in the pool.
My tie dyed trees are a great example. Ive seen a lot of pairings that have used dots. The idea caught my fancy right away. One day last week i just sat down and did it and I am pleasantly surprised with my finished result. An artistic adventure that did not disappoint.
So how are you on adventure of any kind? Artistic and life. Are you a jump in kind or a plan every second kind?
