Artistic Osmosis: From Appreciation To Skill
“Countless colours and tones of colours radiate at the same time with mellow and sharp, sweet and savoury scents.”
Gustav Klimt,
born on this day in 1862
Oh yes, that is how summer feels, smells, sounds and looks to me!
Interesting fact about the painter, apart from being a champion for the Feminine:
Klimt and his peers introduced the idea that “those who appreciate and honour what has been created” should be called artists too, along with the creative.
I find this helpful, because a fan progresses, almost imperceptibly, to becoming more expressive. And art that comes from this love for beauty in all its forms is highly inspired.
Since I was 12, I have not had a day without art. It does not occur to me to let a day pass without noticing something well-made and beautiful.
My poetry and my writing too rises from mindfulness and from being a natural appreciator. By being me, I connect others with their innate creativity too. I find this rewarding and pleasant.
