Do something Art related no matter how small a simple doodle or Idea can become a beautiful thing later on.
The Importance of writing,
This is one important step to unclogged your self, It is important that you write if you want your self to become more fluent, original in your creativity even if is a small thing or a entire full page of nagging, there’s something that unplugs from self that really helps.
Exercise:
Running is the must rewarding thing if you can not run for medical or health reasons, at least a walk or two around the block will help, not to mention it keeps your heart pumping and your system in check and Oxygenated, this helps also to relief stress. From cleaning the window's to do the cha-cha. The must important thing here is to sweat. Set your self a time during the day to walk around. Drink plenty of water, eat well. This helps you to keep a healthy weight get rid of toxins and flush your system.
The Importance of Giving
Giving and helping with out asking, is one of full rewards… it does not has to be always monetary a simple smile or a hug saying to some one how much you appreciate them and love them, this will help to have a healthy focus in others, rather than your self, and keeps your mind busy. Must of all this is a way of loving your self so you can display the same interest and love to others.
This is an example of one of the doodles done wile writing that stuck in mind after a long run,
This is the painting that came out from that doodle…
Of course all this things are suggestions, and might as well take a little time so have patience , and don’t rush just do as much as you can. As with everything else, always do things with balance this is achieved with time, set your self limits don’t over do things.

A friend of mine whom I’ve known since we where in high school, now a proud mom of 2 girls and an excellent Baker, Told me a simple story about her then 2 years old daughter. While one of her cakes was cooling off’ the little girl stuck the finger in the frosting. Mom asked, what are you doing? The little Girl answered: I want to, I had to, I had to! Licking her fingers off, With such proudness, You know the first reaction you get when a child does that...
Continuing on that thought, and I know it comes from a 2 year old, but if we get that same attitude when it comes to what We have to do. It shows a bit of a rebellious attitude, but must importantly determination. Always asking and why not? The lesson is, being determined, taking action, commit to it, and learning. You like Art? You want to do it?, Now, you have taking all the steps to pursue it, You see how everything just “simply connects”.… Yet, you have put it a side, thinking is not your call, because concerns… and perhaps afraid to take a leap.
Not everyone, of course is all “crazy” and jumps head first, like some one “I know very well” and yes, it is not easy. But nothing that is good for you, is easy to do, good things take time, sometimes longer than we wanted to, patience is key, and it is also how we learn, looking ten years back on my own experience I had all the excuses…one of them? being a young mom, with three small children, even so, couldn’t be more clear in my face everything I liked to do, had to do with Creating. Hours ends… sharpening pencils, long nights with out sleep… sketching everyday”
“Imagine the face of my mentor and whom I owe an big apology. After a year or more… I said, wanting to be a “Hairdresser” because it was a “safer way to gain income” wile One Day, prior to do an extravagant Hair cut with layers and different mix of colors, on that same moment… I took my sketch book out… and sketched that Hair Cut, looked at the page and my heart saddened… saying to self, Mary.., what is this that you are doing?
Now in a “survival” mode and determined. Exactly September 11, 2009, made a commitment To change my view towards what was art…and artists. Determined first to Change, and now, doing everything possible in my power to sustain that. Not only My self but those whom are pursuing this carrier, and know very well how hard it is. So If you like what you are doing, you have what it takes to continue, and it is possible for you, Just Do it! Why? Because you had to!, You Have to!, You Want to!. It is such determination that brings you forth and strong.
Recently told a friend of mine, well… The Blog has recipes that is one of my favorite hobbies, and Gardening blessed with a super green thumb!, then again, all relates to working with hands, and it is used to unclogged, it is repetition that makes your mind and inspiration flow. So the Blog wouldn’t stop being what it is, actually, want that to be seen purposely, because it is How we learn and Yes, Change is good. But now, to give importance to the Main course, which is Art, and whom I am, an Artist and to those whom are doing the same, my friends.
The two would meet again in the future, nevertheless in what would be called my “First” Real Show, where ought to have the best mignon wrapped in bacon that you would ever taste. and yes, there will be vegan food too. But in my case in my first. I wasn’t ready and it wasn’t the time. Hope this experience helps you realize something, and give you a different attitude a positive one. Because Giving is the must rewarding Gift, here are this words to you.
You are..Awesome you are… Unique, You are… Beautiful, Your creativity flows out of your pores, You are… loved, You are Art You are…
Art

Are all Artist copyist? when I ask this question it became a personal matter' so not to be blind about the motive of my question, I rather go with the facts then to continue, an rather not give answer to my own opinion, As to be Fair for some he or she might be thinking the same. A keen interest in the 90's about Vangoghs Life, whom it said to be known as the father of post impressionism or impressionism era'. He have had an acquire knowledge and admiration for true Asian Art and some of hes great works are of Irises, wish are known to be One of the Most popular flowers In Asian culture.'
Well he indeed got the concept, but applied what was important for him, to continue on and develop and Original Artwork, not to be compared to anyone else, and perhaps this is what made him unique' and today a Master' in he's own Right. It is true that he wasn't the only one, For Monet, to paint in the canvas was as to capture form and engage in what he called , true unaltered" color or as much as possible'. So as to Say and conclude with this blog, Rather would leave it to the judgment of the creative minds to answer the question instead.
